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.

Sorry, you are in denial. My wife works for a very small manufacturing company and they cycle through temps looking for employable people. The last one was sent away because his vacant staring AT A RUNNING LATHE alerted them to his drug impairment. This is a pattern they see; workers unsuitable to the tasks they need to perform.

I didn’t believe it eithet til a local employer shared some transcripts of discussions with potential employees at a job fair. I wouldn’t hire them either, and I didn’t see the tats, torn jeans, nose rings, and all the rest. The lack of “soft skills” is kinda understandable when you consider we have generations where no one has ever held a real job.

Ok, you can go back to beating your same old drum again.

The part I didn’t buy was the advanced computer skills. I think that is reinforcing the idea that we have to increase the H1B visas.

Which makes it easier for employers to offer depth-of-the-Great-Recession wages and complain that qualified applicants aren't turning out. Supply and demand does apply - raise the offer and watch voluntarily non- and under-employed workers appear.

You are wrong on this one. Most Americans under 40 are unemployable. They cannot be depended upon, are always taking "sick days", complain about everything and otherwise spread discontent throughout the workplace.

It is no wonder all the jobs are being exported overseas. That is where you find the work ethic.

America has just become too spoiled and lazy.

The only silver lining for me is that the lack of competition allows me to climb the career ladder quite easily.

The article is specific that it is the NYC area; Americans are fleeing from here in droves.
