Can we go back to adding tech jobs please, I’m scared

Noodle07 ,

Time to switch to AI jobs

Hopefully the CHIPS Act helps with that. I know it’s boosted construction already, but once the new fabs are built they’ll need a larger support staff

Not happening anytime soon, we produced too many workers for the sector to support. We need funding for retraining programs. The nation is desperately low on skilled trades and those tech workers can learn electrical, plumbing, etc. with help.

Even Fox is having a hard time making the case for a bad economy but they still try really hard.

Unfortunately most of those jobs don’t pay a living wage, but a job’s a job I guess.

Driven by construction, which generally pays a living wage

I was in Oklahoma recently and did notice that there were an alarming number of Chinese nationals working in the cannabis industry. And they work for very cheap.

Should see the flooring industry. It’s immigrants all the way down (not all of them illegal) and they pay dirt cheap. But chsrge customers out the ass for install. The few english speakeing workers I talked to that been doing this since the 80s say prices for installers haven’t changed since the 90s so thsy stop doing carpet and now only immigrants do that.

There is also all the cold states where half the employees get laid off for 3-4 months.

When Trump stopped the asylum seekers from staying in the country while there case was heard (the apply on your side policy) and Biden kept the policy, all of the cheep construction workers disappeared. Why houses cost so much these days.
