Anyone that's still touting the "skills gap" lie can't be taken seriously. Evidence upon evidence shows that there is no lack of workers with proper skills, just a bunch of greedhead owners unwilling to pay what those workers are worth. Also, if the skills gap is such a problem, then why don't the "job creators" shell out for training to improve productivity? Answer: Because there is no gap, and these owners are being MOOCHERS, hoarding profits while not expanding wages or jobs. <br /><br /> And you know what fills any skills gaps that may exist? Funding schools, and giving those people a wage worth working for. Walker has gone backward on both. <br /><br /> Jake formerly of the LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660401299391001751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-79728540182246109352013-06-08T09:59:14.397-05:002013-06-08T09:59:14.397-05:00explosive growth in the natural gas industry.
Hah...<i> explosive growth in the natural gas industry.</i><br /><br />Hah. regardless of the nature of that growth, which I suspect is due to the planet-raping fracking practices, that's a pretty nice turn of phrase. considering the chemicals leaching into water systems from the practice, "explosive" indeed.<br /><br />No wonder Waukesha would like a water pipeline to Lake Michigan rather than relying on their groundwater.zombie rotten mcdonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601960953323752278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-90849754849715417072013-06-08T09:56:43.465-05:002013-06-08T09:56:43.465-05:00there have never been highly skilled workers right...there have never been highly skilled workers right out of school. Even trade schools only provided rudimentary knowledge that served as the basis for developing a lifelong set of skills.<br /><br />Employers used to understand that to replace retiring, highly skilled workers, they needed to bring in interns and apprentices to develop the skills needed to replace the workers. <br /><br />The real disconnect came when corporations decided that investment in these workers should be born by the public, rather than the corporation, in the truly Reaganesque mantra of "socialize the costs, privatize the profits".<br /><br />The so-called shortage in skilled workers does not actually exist. The mismatch is between availability of skilled workers, and what corporations want to PAY for them. What they WANT is the equivalent of a worker with dozens of years of experience, while paying them the salary of someone who just graduated from high school.<br />zombie rotten mcdonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601960953323752278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-79736884830186899172013-06-08T08:06:39.672-05:002013-06-08T08:06:39.672-05:00@Anony too 12:39-

Recently they told the Waukesha School Board that they will double the number of engineers and plant staff because of explosive growth in the natural gas industry.<br /><br />Weld-All has started entering employee training programs because they can't find skilled workers.<br /> <br />Trace-A-Matic, WCTC, and the Waukesha School District have developed partnerships and scholarships in tech-ed programs to meet the opportunities they have because of the skilled worker shortage. That's a very real employer concern in Waukesha County. <br /><br />There are many more employers facing a retiring workforce. Requirements of higher skill sets by the new employees that those leaving creates the work force creates opportunities for skilled workers to make far more money than college grads with useless degrees and major debt.<br /><br />Progressives don't seem to understand the issue. Instead you're focused on bashing Scott Walker on some slanted statistics. Why aren't you working with the Governor to better Wisconsin's employment opportunities for all it's citizens? <br /><br />My personal opinion - you're creating your own worst enemy.<br /><br />I'm working to make a difference in my community for all students. <br /><br />What's your game plan?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-60359169467332857952013-06-07T12:46:17.197-05:002013-06-07T12:46:17.197-05:00Mebbe he can run as

Some lucky GOP operatives will have fun with the anti-gay Walker's proclivity for surrounding himself with gay staffers while Milwaukee County Executive. Not that there's anything wrong with it. The embezzlement convictions, the attempt to sexually lure a teenage boy into the back of a van with pornography, the suspected child porn found on their computers ... oh man. None of this will impress the Christian value voters of Dixie.

He can go the way of Tommy Thompson, another distorted ego whose ambition exceeded his abilities. Will be fun to watch his jabbed balloon go flghghgghgh'ng all over the sky.
