Mikeadoo Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Yep....Trump did all that in under three years. I guess that's what he was trying to do with all those tariffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, I heard on the radio the other day there's a law in the works that punishes U.S. companies for shipping jobs to foreign countries.

racer254 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) We should be pushing college on everyone....or at least that's what we were told. https://www.thebalance.com/manufacturing-jobs-examples-types-and-changes-3305941 There are 12.75 million Americans in manufacturing jobs, the National Association of Manufacturers reported from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In 2017, they earned $84,832 a year each. This includes pay and benefits. That's 27 percent more than the average worker, who earned $66,847 annually. U.S. manufacturing workers deserve this pay. They are the most productive in the world. That's due to increased use of computers and robotics. They also reduced the number of jobs by replacing workers. Yet, 89 percent of manufacturers are leaving jobs unfilled. They can't find qualified applicants, according to a 2018 Deloitte Institute report. The skills gap could leave 2.4 million vacant jobs between 2018 and 2028. That could cost the industry $2.5 trillion by 2028.
