Why we're losing manufacturing jobs

President Trump is on track to provide funds to revive manual training schools. A lot of our manufacturing jobs are exported for one simple reason, that being we sorely lack trained hands in the metal working trades.

Newer generations after the last great war preferred going to work in a business suit rather than working clothes and that slowly began the demise and export of good paying manufacturing jobs to other countries.

We are being pap fed that the economy is improving, but is it so? A lot of older unemployed people are now in the military for the funds to keep their families going back home. Are they being counted as the employed?

Epilogue: I took my late dad's advice to learn a metal working trade for secure life time employment. I did and it brought me great satisfaction in my now retirement years when I see a space launch. I helped make the launch pad cooling spray system while in the employ of a nearby DuPage manufacturer of spray systems.
