from elementary to undergraduate

The US is not dealing simply with a manufacturing slowdown. It is dealing with a skills gap created by an infamously underfunded education system from elementary to undergraduate levels, and a lack of re-skilling programmes. Manufacturing will not revive unless workers in factories are equipped with the requisite skill sets. It will also not revive without significant efforts to reduce basic production costs without eating into the profit margins that American Multinationals have gotten used to. Modern life requires far more than diet adjustments for unavailable imported food items. ufabet
