Is it just me or does this need for skilled trades seem to cycle through every now and again? Typically right around the time of the beginning of recovery from a recession?
The problem here is that they are recovering from a recession, but it is different this time.
Not only are companies becoming aware they have to produce things in the home country
they are running into the fact that a lot of older workers had contracts and positions buy outs.
Now of course there is a shortage of skilled workers. This creates a different problem for
America. There are more and more jobs but no one has the skills to fill them as some have
retired or started small businesses of their own and are no longer seeking jobs that have in
fact disappeared until now. All those unemployed workers found retraining and are filling other
jobs. America will find itself behind in the skills sector for some time and this will hurt its
recovery. Serves them right
It is kind of cyclical, much like markets. Although I am finding more people like me that are completely pissed off with the garbage that comes from China. I am quite willing to pay more for things that work.

I've worked the world over to support my family. There is no excuse to not be working if you have the balls to do what a real man does to feed his family.
Nope! Not looking, but I thought it would be fun to look back and recall what types of work I have done in my life. Started off with Newspaper routes, worked as a farm hand as a teen, was a file clerk, did telecommunications, architectural and electrical drafting, telecommunication engineering, drafting supervisor and quality control, then I became a bush hippy and did some farming, was a tree planter and forest fire fighter, owned a News paper, had a graphics art company, ran a printing press, worked in the printing industry as a layout artist and pasteup man, sold advertising, was a garbage man, worked in a commercial greenhouse, authored seven books and illustrated 3 of them, have produced a large volume of fine art and a line of fine art cars, been a professional photographer, built both log and frame houses, commercial wild mushroom picker, a herbalist and alternative healer, been on several boards of directors, ran a teen club. I think I am forgetting a few but that covers most of it. I think I have earned my retirement and a good nights sleep. See y'all in da mornin'.
As the old saying goes "anyone who wants a job has one"...........
(Put that hat back on) LOL
And that is why I refuse to accept the whines of those who complain they have no jobs or can't find one.
A lot of them could help themselves if they would WORK a couple of hours before asking when quitting time is, when pay day is and when can they start their holidays!
There are a few of those around but you know what? At least they show up and try unlike all the other ****ing whiners.
And that is why guys like YJ never made their 3 month probation for unions and wound up being punted and bitter for life.
