This is such a confusing, lovely article there's no way it's not a submarine piece

There's a labor shortage! Also most of the lovely jobs have been eliminated by robots. Factories are safer than they used to be! Workplace fatalities were up this year. Industry leaders would pay above market rate for "talent!" Millennials are avoiding factory jobs because they don't pay enough to cover college debt

it's got some details correct but you need to re-arrange it for it to make sense and be true.

There's a labor shortage because the entry level positions don't pay enough to cover college debt. Factories are safer than they used to be in that your odds of being pulled into a lathe are lower than they were in 1895. Workplace fatalities are up all over because starting pay and benefits are much less than they used to be (index for inflation) so you have a lot of churn. Churn in manufacturing = deaths because being new and unfamiliar with the machines is the #1 reason people gently caress up and loving die.

Industry leaders would pay above market rate for "talent!" which is code for experienced senior level technical types. No one anywhere gives a single gently caress about low level technicians and operators because unions have been largely defanged or destroyed. They give half a gently caress if you are somebody like a competent millwright, electrician etc who keeps the machines going and will pay you a livable wage. If you are a guy who pushes the button to tell the robutt to go you will not be paid that well and also the "work" is mind numbing most of the time.

And factories are definitely going to be generally more dirty, dangerous and uncomfortable than an office job some place so it makes perfect sense for people to avoid them if the pay and benefits aren't drastically better. You also rarely/never have to work graveyard or swing in a normal office job.

Basically if the guy writing the article had gone out to probably any factory anywhere and interviewed like 5 junior people he could have written a story worht a poo poo

not to mention a recession and austerity

unemployment below 5% for an extended period of time means recession

the tech bubble is enormous right now because interest rates are so low there's no investments outside of disrupting poo poo-wiping through cloud based social apps

These people are about 38% of the American electorate and will crawl over broken glass to vote for him.

All he needs is the rest of the R's to show up to protect the Supreme Court and you have Trump's second term.
