Mike Rowe: “We’re dealing with alarming math … For every five tradespeople who retire this year, two will replace them.”

“I got a call a few months ago from a company … building four nuclear-powered subs. They need to hire 100,000 tradespeople in the next nine years. This guy called me and said, ‘Can you help? … Do you know where they are?’

And I said, ‘Yeah, I do, they’re in the eighth grade.’ We have to start now, because we’re racing the math and the math almost never loses.”

After 25years on the boarder w chain migration well established, we went from job postings that said Spanish speaking preferred to required. Trade jobs for entry level English only speaking young men vanished. Of course, the foreman and subcontractors didn't speak English nor to mention the cultural nepotism.
Got boarder patrol taking rides through the desert when they could just roll up on job sites in Dona ana county. RICO es muy rico, verdad?
