Defense Companies Hunt for Scarce Skilled Workers

Company’s don’t want to train people and pay is a bad subject

Also, no one wants to train or take on new hands to learn skilled labor jobs. All want experienced journeymen. Well guess what, we are about to have severe shortage of men to do skilled labor and tradesman style work. Still a few out there who choose this path, but not many.

Because we were all lied too and told we had to go to college to be successful. Now instead of making good money doing skilled labor Jobs. I have useless degree and cant find employment that pays enough to cover my student loans.

maggieNYT Apprentice programs!

maggieNYT The “internship” programs of the50’s & 60’s need to be implemented to train people from outdated industries to the new jobs out there!

Bring back trade schools.

'scarce' merge job descriptions into one job description for one individual.

Pay more!

Schools don’t teach anything anymore except underwater basket weaving and lesbian dance theory so it’s no wonder skilled labor is becoming harder to find.

Pay more

Wonder if $5B thrown would fix this

Too many slackers and potheads.

Defense contractors are deploying new tactics to find welders and other skilled tradespeople at a time of surging military spending and ultralow unemployment.

...at the low pay rate we’re willing to pay. Offer higher pay and you’ll find the workers. That’s how a market economy works.

maggieNYT Raise the workers wages - you will find them.

Hire people, then train them. Win, Win! Loyalty.

maggieNYT The problem now seems to be companies don't want to do training or apprenticeships but, want an employee 100% ready with a list of detailed knowledge in specific areas. Some listings I have seen are just absurd and makes it obvious why the company can't find someone.

Gender studies major isn't good enough?

check among the laid off government workers.

NewsRadioKLBJ Every child has to go to college , and a shortage of trade schools doesn't help.

Paid apprenticeships, anyone?

maggieNYT Maybe they should take some of the money out of there profits and train some workers! Where do they think they’ll get them from!

Then maybe they shouldn't have financed the party that hates education.

Uh ya man, here’s a hint: pay them and they will show up.

Surging military spending is short term and not clever. Long term solution is to have all skilled labor globally to work on clean water, energy and food. Enough battle/challenge already for mankind...

Bullshit....the battle is to find cheap labor

Hey! My hubby a scientific, atmospheric programmer. Answer this Tweet and I'll get him to email you!

Not everyone should go to college! That was Obama bullshit.

maggieNYT The inability to find skilled labor in all industries will contribute directly to economic slow down. Unwillingness to invest in job training?

I understand BAE looking for skilled workers. Just aren't any more in greater BOS area.

maggieNYT I recently retired from a Vocational-Technical High School in Pennsylvania. Not enough is done in Elementary and Middle Schools to inform students and their parents of the demand for skilled labor. A productive, prosperous life is possible without a college education.

At the price you want to hire them.

maggieNYT All labor is skilled labor

maggieNYT I had a great (insightful) discussion with a young man whose job was watching a group of self serve check out stations in a local grocery store. I asked his background. Electrical Engineer who couldn't find work in his field. Me, an inventor w/ dozens of patents, too old at 50.

These same companies for years smashed down wages, benefits and retirement packages because they thought people who worked with their hands to be inferior.. Now they complain they can’t find skilled workers? That’s typical union 1u

maggieNYT Why don't the fund the battle of educating Amerikan students?!

maggieNYT Maybe they could find some immigrants to do the work

maggieNYT Ah, corporate America reaping what they sowed in driving down unions. Really, shouldn't there be lines of people who have a 'right to work' *insert sarcasm emoji here*

They're not in the caravan

Maybe stop requiring your welders to have a bachelor degree

This company is picking up multi-billion dollar contracts and only paying their skilled labor $22.40? Hopefully they can’t keep up with production forcing them to contract out to a company actually paying employees deserved wages

then increasing salary

maggieNYT The talent isn’t that scarce. Skills are skills whether it aerospace, civil engineering, shipbuilding. The industries don’t see this as it would require an investment in additional industry specific training

maggieNYT Republicans killed the skilled trades. Reagan killed the Unions. No sympathy

maggieNYT maybe they should train the labor they need

So they built a new plant in a new location ... only to realize you need to attract new workers to new said location with competitive (or superior) wages. facepalm .

maggieNYT Pay for it or train for it. You get what you pay for...

Higher pay produces Skilled workers! always has, pay more, more will seek the skill training, simple!

maggieNYT 'At the wage we want to pay'

maggieNYT Societal pressure for males especially to go to college and sit on campus for four years when they could be making good cash in skilled labor is intense.

maggieNYT They don't want to train

How contractors with 'ghost' workers give big companies a buffer against immigration officialsAmid the searing debate over President Trump’s immigration crackdown, contractors have provided a way for some of America’s biggest employers, including Target and Walmart, to effectively benefit from cheap labor without fear of meaningful penalties. She broke federal law, now we are supposed to feel sympathetic to her?!? GTFO Speaking to the choir. Results of lack of proper immigration reform. Politicians playing with people's lives and in pockets of corporations. And American taxpayers are stuck with the bill. It is shameful that a national chain such as Target allows this theft to happen.
