https://www.wsj.com/articles/gm-cuts-up-to-1-500-jobs-at-ohio-plant-1523652143

quote:

General Motors Co. GM -0.26% will lay off up to 1,500 workers from a small-car factory in Ohio, the latest symptom of sluggish U.S. demand for cars amid the rising popularity of sport-utility vehicles.

GM said Friday it would eliminate one of the two shifts at its Lordstown, Ohio, plant, where workers assemble the Chevrolet Cruze compact sedan. The company cited “lower customer demand” for smaller cars.

“As we look at the market for compact cars in 2018 and beyond, we believe a more stable operating approach to match market demand is a one-shift schedule,” the auto maker said in a statement.

GM and other auto makers are scrambling to cut car production and adjust their model mix as consumers gravitate toward SUVs and pickup trucks amid low fuel prices. That trend has been playing out for a few years, though auto executives have said they’ve been surprised at the speed of the shift.

Guaranteed local IT jobs is why the bootcamps were started in the first place. Are you really going to blame people for not going to class when they don't have any need for what's being taught?

Offering training for jobs that don't exist is just a way for liberals to funnel money to the 1% while making employment into a matter of personal responsibility so they can justify blaming the poor for their situation no matter what they do.

If ex-miners go to IT school they're stupid for expecting white-collar tech jobs to magically appear in Blacklung WV and deserve to starve, if they figure out it's a waste of time and don't go well they turned down a chance to learn new skills so they're stupid and deserve to starve.

Can't have a local IT job if your town is still on dial-up, even the miners realize this.

there are "a lot" of it possibilities in remote areas because of telecommuting and cheap real estate

but no one is going to telecommute from a state that has a standard of living common in coal country

it's slowly changing, i am usually headed to rural virginia or west virginia more than the dc or baltimore suburbs at my job but there's still a long way to go to make appalachia livable enough for people to transplant themselves there

I mean at least there's hard evidence that there are circumstances where coal jobs exist in appalachia, since coal jobs previously existed in appalachia. Those circumstances will never exist again but i can see why it might be more believable that Maybe The Jobs That Previously Existed Will Exist Again than "hey people will start companies we don't have anything near the basic technological infrastructure for because ????"

Is there a market for "artisionally hand-crafted stone pieces" bought by the bag? And could they get depleted mines for cheap? I've been wondering if they would be able to upsell it to richer areas that may not know that there's no such thing thing as "Grade A shale with a hint of pumice" and make a push for revitalizing rock gardens.

A lot of tourist areas have "mining" places where you buy a bag of dirt and then sift through it with a pan to look for gems. The younger kids in my family love it because minecraft, so maybe if there were a way to market a place like that to adults?

I'd like to know if they are sitting unemployed, or working one of the bazillions of chain store jobs that have openings right now. Unemployment is so low that we will literally have to start importing people from Mexico any minute.
