It's pretty sad, as the solution is staring at them in the face. These are the companies who refuse to adapt.

- collyw 10y agoSounds just like the IT industry.
- lj3 10y agoIt's not that simple. The economic situation on the ground is that anybody making less than $70k a year is better off on welfare. Factory workers make less than half that. Who would willingly train to do a hard, monotonous job when they could sit on the couch doing nothing and get paid more?
- rubidium 10y agoReality check (no idea where you live... but your blithe statement reveals some serious lack of understanding of the situation of most people in the US): The U.S. Census Bureau reported in September 2014 that U.S. real (inflation adjusted) median household income was $51,939. Making $50k a year is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than being on welfare.
- mcguire 10y ago"...median household income..." That's also very likely two paychecks.
- theandrewbailey 10y agoThere are many places in the US where making $35,000/year would make you rich, or at least well-off and comfortable. Many of them don't want to live in metropolitan areas and are completely happy.
- rubidium 10y agoAs a single person, yes you can live very comfortably on 35k a year (I wouldn't quite go so far as "rich"). Raising a family, not so much.
