Just saw a report on the nightly news that a new auto plant is opening in Athens, GA. In the report they said that there are lots of jobs available all over the country, but there are not enough qualified people to fill them. We need to train people for the jobs that are available, not just the ones they want. |

For people to go to work they need to have the skills and be where the jobs are. I think the better way to accomplish that would be through the private sector, employers doing some training and moving with some investment by the prospective workers. But if the country decides to spend the money to make that happen I'd rather see it spent there than sent to a union or a car nobody wants to buy. One thing we're going to have to di is make it easier to provide for a family by working than by staying at home. |

"One thing we're going to have to di is make it easier to provide for a family by working than by staying at home." That's not going to happen with so many advocating and demanding the government dependemcy entailed by social democracy. |

It might if the government provided things like daycare and instituted universal healthcare so going to work did not cut you off from medical care. (Assuming most on welfare will only be able to get jobs with no insurance) |

For every minimum wage job out there in our area there are many applicants. Even places like McDonalds it's hard to get in if you don't have a lot of experience. I often hear, well they could just move to someplace where their is a boom. Where are they going to find the money for bus fare, or to eat, or a place to live until the 1st paycheck? For many it's not as easy as those armchairing the situation like to think. |
