I find it interesting that while US companies ship jobs overseas to make their widgets, Japanese, Korean, and German auto manufacturers build cars in the US with US workers. This includes Subaru, Toyota, Honda, Hyndai, Kia, Volkswagen, and BMW. GE has moved some of their large appliance manufacturing back to the US including plants in Kentucky and Georgia. One of the key elements to locating a plant for these companies is a source of high school graduates that they can train in their highly productive and advanced manufacturing processes. That is why a quality education is so important going forward as the old labor intensive manufacturing jobs will never return of the US as they are replaced by skiled labor with higher productivity that require fewer workers. I am concerned that no matter who is President and which party controls congress, returning the country to full employment may well be years away.
