Even though US manufacturing activity surged to a 37-year high in March, the industry has more than half a million job openings. Factories are struggling to find skilled workers for specialized roles such as welders and machinists. Manufacturers are even having trouble hiring entry-level positions that do not require expertise. The talent shortage is not new — but it's getting worse and could have far-reaching consequences beyond the manufacturing industry itself. As many as 2.
"A robot can pick up a box and move it, but a person can be creative and get ahead of what's coming."Yet some robotics startups are seeking to capitalize on the shortage of skilled workers. Path Robotics, a Columbus, Ohio-based startup, says it has designed the world's first truly autonomous robotic welding system. The startup announced a $56 million round of funding Monday to fuel its expansion.
It’s not all just about the lack of skilled people. A lot of this has to do with American companies being unwilling to train inexperienced people. Not to mention people refusing to work due to the current socialist controlled Congress giving away free money.
instead of a $300 unemployment bonus, they need to do a $300 employment bonus.
People are fucking lazy
The Trillion dollar problem is the antiquated machinery and low wages associated with these factories. People are smarter and have more options to work instead of working for low wages in an outdated factory.
Alas! Who will hear our voices? Who will acknowledge our pains? Where is justice? Where is humanity? Where is an equity? Where is Lady Justice? Where is Jefferson & his theory of Unalienable Rights? O God! Who would judge us? DV2021winners Reuters washingtonpost nytimes
They get paid too much to stay home folks. Why would they work if you pay them unemployment at a similar rate? Basic economics intertwined with the human condition.

Cnn with their stupid fucking propaganda again.
Up here in the Seattle area, you need to make at least $25 an hour (which is barely above poverty level), and most entry level pay is minimum wage at $15 hrs. Dual wage families can make a go, but if you're single, you end up on the streets.
You mean they can’t find people that will take low wages. Pay more and you’ll find plenty of people.
Not enough people to work, but there's unemployment on the other side.
So how come supply and demand drives up prices but not wages?
That’s because Democrats are paying them to sit on their ass. Getting free money to sit on your ass will always win out over going back to work at a factory. Just saying.

Stop disincentivizing people by throwing money at them
LAZINESS and ENTITLEMENT are what a lot of Americans have now.
Thanks Joe.
Free markets: pay wages to attract workers.
Finally. If they can pay the CEO to seat on a chair for millions of dollars I’m sure they can afford to raise the wage to the person they need. But I’m more concerned that they are investigating in robotics to replaces humans. That’s the reality they don’t tell us
People will step in front of a moving train if the price is right. This is that whole free market thing businesses love to tout.
Nonsense. Pay a living wage and they’ll come.
Is it because the Americans all got the new crown and died?
Maybe If yall stop paying workers like they are kids people might want to work.
Because the stupid ass government is paying them to stay home. Who wants to go to work when you can sit your fat ass at home and get $1,400 a month?
Nonsense Pay them No ripoffs

That is just disgusting 😡😡 thank you Biden for creating monsters for thinking they can sit on their ass and just collect money 🤷♀️🤦♀️!! Go to work you lazy ppl go to work!! During this entire pandemic my entire family didn’t miss a day of work except for when I got covid &had to
Wonder why?
Factories have taken advantage of employees over the decades, expecting them to work 60-70 hrs./week. Kids see how those hours and low pay destroyed their parents' health. Screw the 'goods'. Let the factories go under until they can pay living wages w/benefits & reasonable hours.
American factories have a habit of laying off employees, or shutting down plants when they’re done exploiting their communities. I believe a new generation has grown wary of those unstable jobs.
We in Africa are ready to work in those factories , give us work permit plus accommodation,, all be in my working station immediately I land..
Well that's because unemployment pays more. That's what happens when you incentive not working for a living
That's a lie. They can find the people. They just don't want to pay them.
Are they desperate enough to pay a living wage without jacking up prices?😉
Demand for goods is skyrocketing as the US economy reopens from the pandemic. But there's a big problem: American factories won't pay people enough to do the work.
Well until they start paying people livable wages no one is gonna work. Eat it rich people 😉
Most people are getting $600 per week in unemployment. If you do the math for 40hr work week that’s $15per hr

Pay more money
If the demand is high then pay the people to meet those demands as well as offer a safe working environment. 🤷♂️
Africans we are available 24/7
I'm here, just grant me visa and working permit.
Start paying a LIVING WAGE! Offer healthcare benefits. Nobody wants to spend their lives working for a company that DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THEM. PAY UP!
Make minimum wage a livable paycheck, and people will go back to their crappy jobs.
This is the time to address the living wage. Business can not expect the government to support their workers while that company is making a profit
Pay a livable wage...
They say it like 'they can't find workers' as if it's that easy to go up there and say 'hey I will work if y'all need me' lol show me where these jobs are that pay more than $15.
Maybe pay the workers more? IDK
Here's an idea, ship the low paying jobs overseas and focus on higher paying skilled jobs that are more fitting of an economic powerhouse. Oh wait that goes against trumpism and the globalist conspiracy mongers.
china should be isolated from the rest of thr world and punished for this situation
The factories should hire a few salesmen to make cold calls. Sell the job to potential employees - even if it means negotiating money, benefits and perks.
Pay them and they will come.
I think that is BS. Globalists are only trying to send more shit to China.
When Joe pays people to sit home that'll happen.
*American factories arent paying enough to get people to work
Biden has a mess and it gets worse day by day. Careful for what you wish for, because it will bite you in the ass. Harris is in charge of a border she refuses to visit figuring it will go away and hes not healthy enough.
Can you say inflation? !!!
If they would pay decent money they would have enough people
Well...when it’s more profitable for people to stay home and live off the government...errrr...taxpayer...what do you expect?
Why work when they’ll pay you to sit at home on the couch?
Pay them more and they will come.
Pay them! Are we this stupid?
Stop the unemployment bonus Start a working bonus and the problem ends quickly
They should pay the workers real money a fair share
Maybe they should pay a fair wage where people can work full time and not be below the poverty line. Just a thought.
Good! Time to start paying workers more!
Is this maybe that point where the 'invisible hand of the market' pushes wages up to where they're supposed to be?
All you bums crying for a raise are loosers that should have stayed in school or started a business instead of doing drugs or alcohol or jerking off! This free money will run out soon and you will be a nothing again!
And legal Immigrants(DV20 &21winners) are being neglected to be interviewed so that they can come n give their best to reduce that shortage of workers 😪 please StateDept POTUS give us a chance we (Dv winners) are ready to work for American future🙏 schedule our interviews
So the stimulus had negative consequences 🤷🏽♂️
Pay them what it's worth to have them work there.
You mean; “they can’t pay high enough wages to attract reputable workers.”
Pay more. Quit paying unemployment benefits.
I was a high school teacher for years. Counselors pushed four-year degrees on students all the time. A few of us 'rebel' teachers encouraged students to consider technical schools. Not everyone wants or needs a four-year degree. Young people in the trades are NEEDED!
You never miss the well till the water runs dry!
Its wonderful that people are realizing that half their take home pay has been handed to hedgefunders, vulture capitalist and welfare billionaires! Demand wages based on profit!
Then PAY. THEM. MORE.
It's seems not okay
It’s the precious border wall. No immigrants no workers. Get a clue. You live of $7.25hr.
My kid has his masters in biology and makes 36,000 a year. He now has to pay his health benefits from that measly salary.
Maybe if the u.s.a didn't have the lowest average wages out of any highly developed nation people might want to work.
And possibly raw materials.
Just get us the visa, we're up for the work
Maybe they should offer a living wage + benefits. Why would anyone go back to work if they can't afford to live after?
Cut off the free money, extra unemployment and other handouts. Make them earn their way.
American factories refuse to pay American workers a living wage.
I'll work ? Who the hell are they asking
Maybe they should pay a living wage.
Maybe during quarantine a lot of people discovered that they wanted more in life then a low paying job and the struggle it involved
Every think it is because of the unsafe working conditions ..and the low pay ..alright for CEOs to get rich just not us worker bees
Raise the minimum wage to $25/hour and bring jobs back from overseas. Stop using cheap labor.
Way to be on top of this, considering it’s been a major problem for more than 12 months. Why don’t you just keep supporting lockdowns and big govt hand outs while wondering why no one wants to work
African is ready to work with such companies. The youths are not getting job please. Please help
They're getting paid more to stay at home, between unemployment and federal
Pls I’m ready 🙏🙏🙏
