Back in the days that we were great, employers offered On The Job Training.
The ones around here want 5 years experience for crap starting wages in most of the trades.
I know plenty of people who want to work, in my observation this is 100 percent on the idiot employers. Every place wants skilled tradesmen for minimum wage and let’s have a blood sample, and a piss sample too, please (note, I can pee clean, no problem but if someone thinks they can ask me for a test they can F-O, or at least add a ‘1’ to the front or a ‘0’ after my hourly wage, or go the hell out of business).
“Back in the days that we were great, employers offered On The Job Training.”
Many companies suck at labor utilization. They’re used to a Baby Boomer economy, with an almost unlimited supply of labor.
Over the next 2 decades, companies that act like “cry babies” about their dwindling labor supply, will be supplanted by commercial operations that don’t have these “hang ups.”

A very long time ago. We live in a different country now that bears no resemblance of the America we once knew.
