.... did you read this?

Basically OLDER americans lacking the technical skills are upset that jobs are going to immigrants WITH the skills? I found this funny
Mr. Doernberg worked in chip design, before that industry shrank, and then for a solar energy company, before that industry shrank, and has been unemployed since the middle of last year. By his own account, his skills are not ideal for the current job market. Nor does it help, he says, that at 53, he looks older than he is; youth is at a premium in his industry. So, too, is optimism.

“It’s a question of convincing someone that with these skills, I can do this job, even though I haven’t done it before,” he said. “I’m very optimistic. I know I will find a job.

And the argument is companies don't want to spend $$ to train them?

Hasn't the onus on your own skill always been on the person?
maybe we should push this type of education more and we wouldn't be facing this type of shortage.

In engineering programs at American universities, a little more than 40 percent of all graduate students were from abroad, according to data from the National Science Foundation. Even among Americans who do graduate with computer science or engineering degrees, a third pursue careers outside the tech sector.

yeah i did, but the basic point is that there is no skill shortage in the us

this is all about paying people less, which will help the economy but at the end of the day will increase inequality because the economic gains will go to the upper class

i'll admit i read it fast, but that's not what i got from that, particularly with the quotes i posted. It sounds like there is a shortage of skill but NOT a shortage of people considering the dude in the story doesn't have the skill and is upset that his old job, which now requires a certain skill set that is beyond his training...maybe i'll go back and re-read it?

But Ardine Williams, the vice president for human resources at Intel, said that hiring Americans is not always practical. Asked about hiring unemployed engineers in this country, she said, “I encounter those folks as well. They are skilled and have expertise outside of an area where we need engineers. In some cases they haven’t kept their skills current.”

you read it correctly, the article tries to be balanced but its more pro bringing more people in, but im just saying, even the pro side admits that the world is not going to end if we dont bring in more engineers
