The top industries that graduates wanted to work in were education, media and entertainment and healthcare.
Maybe they should look for a real job that is productive.
I have a feeling he is fishing for folks ticked off at Obama who will give him money for his change of mind.
They won’t
The GOP is beholden to the people who want to ship jobs away, or import low cost workers.
Long term, it means we will not be a world power. We will go the way of England after they lost their empire.
I don’t think that would do anything for the attitude problem.
Too many of these kids have never hit a lick at a snake in their entire lives because as they were growing up their parents wanted to “protect” them from every conceivable danger, inconvenience, or disappointment they may face.
Parents are creating these adult “children”. They may be 21 or 22, but they are still children.
People running a business don’t have the time or money to raise a child to be a responsible adult.
Lower our standard of living now!

All well and good, but they apparently didn’t do their research on what the job market trends can support.
I need production/manufacturing engineers - mechanical, electrical, industrial. People that can program PLC’s and fabricate tools & fixtures. Actual, hard, skills.
Not a “media and entertainment” graduate. WTF kind of soft-headed mush is that?
More taxes, 5% here, 5% there, here a 5% there a 5%.
Tell me, where do taxes actually produce anything positive?
Let americans make things and americans will buy them.
Is that hyperbole?
You already have an import duty, its called shipping costs. The problem is not punishing Americans to force them to buy American, its greedy assholes who want 5% here and 5% there, and want to leglislate how much farts per hour you are allowed for methane production.
Its a God gave us freedom thing, and the Feral Goobermint takes it away.
And quit being so freaking obtuse.
If they listed their qualifications in order, prostitute might be top of the list. ;-)
Why don’t you quit being so myopic. Your “freedom” to trade with countries that do not have our best interest at heart is costing us socially and also our national security. One US factory closing and throwing hundreds of non union workers out on the street is a tragedy, 5,000 is a statistic.
Also, fully half of ALL college grads are below average for college grads overall.
