Hey Bauman, jobs in Warsaw

[PaulKay]

In this part of the Midwest, the problem isn’t China. It’s too many jobs.

Looks like John's neighborhood is a good place to find work...

You guys must subscribe to a lot of on-line papers. All these links (WaPo, Chic-Trib) want me to unblock ads AND subscribe before they'll show me what you are linking to.

I saw that. It's scary. It's scary to think of Warsaw without that. It's also obvious that there are just no skilled American workers to fill those jobs. Zimmer is virtually my next door neighbor. You guys who have been here -- that's the huge campus across the tracks from me. I can see it from here. And there have been job postings out on the road all year. But you gotta know how to do something.

For Biomet the answer could be find semi-qualified people and train them.

They don't seem to be willing anymore. They didn't need to for so long and now it seems they can't.

...and it doesn't help that they don't hire directly.

There was a statement in the article that they do sponsor training in local schools. So I imagine they attempt to get the right skills coming out of community colleges. But also hire from abroad.

You mean there's foreigners in my town?
