America filled its shores with ignorant uneducated crap. Right from out schools to illegals. What in the hell do we expect.
I call baloney on this article.
America has been sending millions of American jobs to China now, constantly, for over one generation. Every year we buy MORE AND MORE STUFF FROM CHINA.
Both of our parties have been 100% sold on this process now, for years and years.
Articles like this, feed into the desire to export (ever) more jobs.
GOP get with it. America needs jobs right here.
Return American manufacturing. To America.
WHAT? Nobody called me. I think Mrs. rktman had to take some sort of diversity course when she was working and they talked about “emotional intelligence” being a key player in a lot or most interactions. Guess that means being able to see what buttons to push to set somebody off and avoiding them. Or pushing them. LOL! :>}
Found something else....” As the labor market improves,”. Still waiting on this even though the unemployment rates are down it certainly doesn’t mean there’s any improvement. Don’t file, you MUST have found a job. Right? :>}
It is obvious that we just don’t spend enough on education in this country. </sarc >
Does that survey include the H1B imports that replace Americans?
I bet that I would far short of the mark in the “lacking interpersonal skills” department, according the the metrics employed by these people. Why? Because I’m not politically correct. If they ask my opinion I tell them. And they are not prepared for that.
The legalization of marijuana will fix this problem pronto.
I have a plant in Newark and we have the same problems with new hires, but there’s a difference between the pool of workers from which we draw.
The recent immigrants are good. The older ethnic blacks not so much. But we have good to excellent blacks from the Caribbean. Russians have excellent training and technical skills. Indians are smart but form cliques. Forgive the stereotypes but they are real.
Just hired a Pakistani truck driver who’s also good, but can’t find any other drivers. They are very scarce everywhere.
Actually this is good news for baby boomers. We may be old but we know how to work.
More opportunities for those of us who can.
Interpersonal skills? Really?

well, when you can’t speak English, that tends to cause interpersonal communication issues.
I find it increasingly difficult to engage our young engineers in conversations. So much so that the other day I was on the phone with one and after long periods of silence I had to tell him it was his turn to speak. Engineers are somewhat introverted and I expect that but many of these young people are downright uncomfortable speaking to other people. They would rather tap it out or something.
Punctuality? One sent out a text message 30 minutes before a meeting he was to chair delaying it for 30 minutes that turned into almost an hour. Why? He was not ready for the meeting. He was late and had not prepared.
How about being able to Xerox copy their rear end? Even though doing that got a young lady at Deere and Company in 1980 fired, lol.
Might have to teach’em English first.
Because they’re hiring illiterate lazy boneheads. I know a lot of intelligent hard working individuals who can have an intelligent conversation. They don’t have jobs because you a$$holes are hiring people for their looks or because they chopped off their wee wee.
There's your problem right there.
All the smart ones who're willing to work are leaving New York and moving to states that don't tax the living sh*t out of 'em.
A result of democrat program of dumbing down reaches tipping point back to the drawing table.
