Joe Yarbrough, Mohawk Industries vice president of operations, said society has “created an environment where it’s deemed to be not only undesirable but sometimes shameful” to have a blue collar job.
“That’s wrong,” he said. “What’s really sad though is at my company, we could fill probably 30, 40 or 50 skilled jobs where we can’t find the applicants with the needed skill sets.”
true and sad.
I just tried Mohawk’s link for jobs....doesn’t work.....maybe the first hire is an IT guy.
Depends on what they’re willing to pay; if they’re offering “wetback pay” they shouldn’t be surprised nobody shows up. I don’t buy this crap that Americans won’t work blue-collar jobs; I think they don’t want to do them at minimum wage.
