Right now, American manufacturing is struggling to fill 200,000 vacant positions. There are 450,000 openings in trades, transportation and utilities. The skills gap is real, and it’s getting wider. In Alabama, a third of all skilled tradesmen are over 55. They’re retiring fast, and no one is there to replace them.

From my link above. If these figures are correct, why aren’t they being tauted by the MSM? Why aren’t they an election issue?

Perhaps the skills needed for the jobs described need to taught at Universities in order to be accepted.
