[QUOTE="50/50Farms, post: 1776814, member: 42731"] I don't work in manufacturing, but I do a lot of hauling for a "plant" and the biggest thing I hear plant workers complain about is getting "stuck" We are at such a labor shortage in so many industries, skilled and unskilled, that a good number of the young people that do work and have any upwards mobility are on the hawk for any way to break into a skilled job so that they can make more money. You see it all the time, now. Hell, go on YouTube. Even 5 years ago the number of videos and guides on getting into skilled labor and trades were about half the number that they are now, if that. In my current industry, we lose people to the oilfields, heavy haulers, and construction hauling left and right. Why? Because they're only doing basic hauls long enough to get the resume time, so that they can do something better. Hell, I've got a job interview tomorrow for a new outfit that does specialty hauls. It's the pace of the times. I haven't even been in this industry terribly long, and I've already made my 5 year plan to get the most out of it before I do something else. With any luck, by or before the end of that 5 years I'll have set myself up for the next step. That's the other reality, younger people that are "hungry" aren't putting in 10-20 years in the same outfit these days unless they found the best gig with the most long term ROI. Even when you can hire people, keeping them is a nightmare. [/QUOTE]
