> American labor is low quality and high cost.
That is the opposite of my experience with software engineers, and my observation of the work ethic of most Americans in a variety of professions makes me think the opposite is true in pretty much every industry.
I think "American labor is low quality and high cost" is one of those things people think must be true about some other industry besides the ones they've seen, kind of like they think the news is inaccurate when it reports things they know to be false, but accurate when it reports on other subjects.
- watwut 1y agoWorking a lot of hours and high quality are two orthogonal categories. Frequently at odds. That being said, topic here is low paid manufacturing where people dont want to work. Not high paid seeked positions. You can't compare them.

Something near 100% of the US telco industry I could not find a polite word to describe. And its very common for obvious deficiencies to be laughed off as normal and acceptable. >Work Ethic Lets start with "Listening Ethic" and "Understanding Instructions" and maybe "Work Ethic" will become relevant.
