LSUTIGERS2001 User ID: 75991510 United States 07/05/2018 08:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Part of the reason these companies cannot find workers is the shitty wages they want to pay. In the early 80's a top notch welder could make 30-40 per hour plus per diem. Once oil crashed in the 80's and Reagan "permanately replaced" the air trafficl controllers, companies saw the way to bust union labor and wages started falling. They still are in real terms. While unions caused a lot of their own problems with the corruption, graft, abuse of power, etc. The anti-union sentiment of the past 30 years has created the problem we see today. As union labor lost members, the apprenticeship training programs in the skilled trades dropped tremendously. The rise of the "merit" shop created downward pressure on wages and benefits and the training programs put in place to replace the apprenticeship programs were pretty shitty. These training programs are finally starting to catch up but there is a huge skills gap out there. Supply and demand will eventually force companies to raise wages to attract good, qualified workers but it will take a while. Tim |

There has been a decrease in the amount of them just about everywhere you look, here. This is what our Company wanted and for a good reason. The most precious things are the simple things in life, always present in the simplest of minds. |

Maiya It's kind of fun to do the impossible. User ID: 76724944 United States 07/05/2018 09:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I work in IT and am on the job hunt. It sure would help if companies didn't have a "must have" list that crosses many IT disciplines. Asking for that is like asking a doctor to be an excellent brain surgeon and ground breaking foot doctor with a side in research....all why training a huge team of idiots that don't know what a blood pressure cuff looks like....based in India. They never thought she would lose. Now they all lose. |
