the average wage was $14.36 an hour before the layoffs, while after retraining it was $11.87 an hour

What many are failing to recognize:

$14.36 an hour was for experienced(?) workers in mature(?) industries.

$11.87 is a starting wage for a new hire in a new position & probably has upward potential

&, it's far better than minimum wage.

Logic!! The protectionists hate that.
