Have you ever heard of the skills gap?
The “skills gap” is a term that means: there aren’t enough qualified workers in the United States to fill vacant manufacturing jobs.
Deloitte, a very big business consultancy, calls it “a sizeable gap between the talent [manufacturers] need to keep growing their businesses and the talent they can actually find.”
But does it exist? To some extent, yes. Consider an article from a few years ago, titled“Employers Aren’t Just Whining – the ‘Skills Gap’ is Real.”
