College-educated workers are taking over America's factory floor. That means more women, more technical skills and fewer high-school diplomas.

Why would they do on the job training when they can get cheap labor oversees and under pay their workers?

America needs an education tool matching demands of companies to fill the gap between Highschool & college. College for all is nonsense. Business can find in Europe some inspiration. It works finally on the company level & a new public school type. Private Public partnership.

Cocksuckers

For every job 'outsourced' in the U.S. to automated machines, there is that much less after-tax spending in the Economy, i.e., less CONSUMPTION and therefore less economic growth.

Ha haaa Put that degree to some use !

A huge paradigm shift that is already failing in manufacturing. Not to mention the huge void in manufacturing that is about to occur when the Baby Boomers are all gone. Skilled trades are already suffering the results of it and in will continue to trend in a downward spiral.

Hadn't 8t been this way for a while? When my cousin finished university he went to work for GM.

These are the same companies that wanted BA degrees for answering the phone...

My college education did not train me to operate machinery. What's wrong with on the job training?

The German system trains such workers internally. The West can learn from this. Hire good, hard working, willing people, educate and train them and give them the opportunity to apply themselves and progress within the company.

and the pay is less than McDonald's

Yeah they'll want them to have a college education but still pay them $12-15/hr.

It’s a poor assumption. See it everyday. Really what’s going on here is a community/trade school racket encouraged by disconnected from the shop floor boards, and made worse by younger folks scared out of manufacturing by decades of academia screaming “blue collar bad”

Funny

Can't read the full story. Not sure I understand the college education? Why not technical education for specific manufacturing jobs?

Nothing like overpaying for a college degree to shut out the high school drop outs. All children left behind.

This white collar blue collar is bullshit Work is work but as always there is an attempt to create superiority AND if it is NOW white collar then there is NO blue collar The criminal justice system likes this crap too so a $5 crime gets harsher punishment than a $1M embezzler

How’s that conservative Republican WAR on EDUCATION and critical thinking, for the benefit of group control of the party masses and easier acceptance of GOP talking points, working for you middle-class?

Because the white collar jobs are fewer!

The jobs pay well, probably better than ones in their field of study and employers know that if one gets a degree with good grades, that person has intelligence, dedication and perseverance. ie. should be a good employee.

It would mean more high school diplomas wouldn't it? Less GED and drop outs.

We need to stop the expansion of college education now. There's no reason people need degrees for a lot of these jobs. At this point they're a 100k dollar conscientiousness signal. And a shitty one at that.
