Two Words: MADE IN AMERICA

[MNomadic]

I guess no one else will point out the incorrectness of the thread's title?

Also, the problem is people. There are plenty of openings. But either they're not paying enough or the workers with the correct skills aren't available. Or both. https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/09/economy/m...uring-jobs

“I think we’re in uncharted territory,” said Jay Timmons, CEO of the National Association of Manufacturers. “For every 100 jobs openings in the sector we only have 60 people who are looking. I think it’ll take quite a while to fill that pipeline.”

Re the thread title: it's a play on something a prominent politician said.

As for American manufacturing: everyone wants to say they support American manufacturing and bringing those jobs to America but the market speaks louder and has largely said that the people are unable/unwilling to pay the premium that American made products demand. Also, believe it or not many foreign manufacturers have improved their quality over the years enough that the people have begun to accept them.

As for jobs: the current unemployment rate is about the same as pre pandemic levels, the lowest it's been in decades. Which means there simply aren't enough workers to meet the market's demands.
