I was really surprised when I was listening to some reports on a local news radio on my way home from my parent’s house tonight. They were interviewing people from companies saying that they have jobs available and no one to fill the positions. They were not talking one or two jobs but thousands of jobs that go unfilled.

This slows down production. What sort of skills did they say were wanted? These were manufacturing jobs paying $18/hour and up. The skills necessary were math skills. Plus the skills necessary to want to work in a manufacturing environment. They did not go into great detail, but I am thinking, that they need workers who can stand for long periods of time, and do not mind repetitive work that requires being alert.

It is great to hear that there are still manufacturing jobs in the USA! I thought we were sending everything overseas. However it is disheartening to hear of the high numbers of jobs going unfilled because people are not being prepared to work in this industry. It really makes me wonder how people are missing the education necessary to get a job that starts out at $18 per hour.

I will have to see if I can find out more details about this.

Math is important. I feel that everyone has the ability to learn math. However not everyone is given what they need to learn math. With all the tutorials available on You Tube now, and on other sites around the internet, parents need to make sure they work with their children to get them to go over these tutorials.

Prentice Hall publishes tutorials for their text books online and they are really excellent. They have really improved their math tutorials. I hope people will find what they need to get off the unemployment lists. I hope that our parents will continue to play a strong role in the education of their children by helping them to find easy to access help for areas they struggle in.
