This administration’s aggressive cuts to training programs for blue-collar workers have also hurt efforts to train a new generation of factory workers. The administration has taken steps to eliminate the Job Corps, a 60-year-old program that provides at-risk youths from 16 to 24 with a path to a career in the trades. And this is another problem. US politicians are evenly divided between the hapless and the hostile. A top priority in the Contract with American was to axe job training that was effective at getting people into tax paying jobs. I know because I was in one of those programs.
