Interesting points; I would be curious to take the economic argument a step further and understand the effects of traditionally unionized labor on the manufacturing industry. The economics of supply and demand driven wage efficiency falter in the face of unionized labor, and you have to wonder if the skills gap the author is talking about is really just people adjusting to a non unionized market for their skills.
