> More people need to be geared towards trades and manufacturing jobs. The key is manufacturing jobs - that is what disappeared over the last half century, and most of those jobs are semi-skilled. But there are no jobs. There never will be - unless the US completely stopped importing from China. They can't - because then people will go to wal-mart and see the price increase, and get mad. And that doesn't take into account automation and technology further squeezing the need for workers.
