Human resources should be looked at as a commodity. Universities and Technical Schools grow and develop the resources, harvest (graduate)them, and then set them out on the market for employers to purchase (hire). If this were the case our educational system is General Motors in the 1970's; producing an insufficient number of defective goods. And in turn we see production and consumption of said goods go elsewhere.
The US education system is producing students who are not prepared for the working world. Worse the consumers are not communicating the defects back to the factory. The end result is specific needs are not being filled, and there is surplus in other areas. Worse it is surplus of 3/4 capable new employees. It is no fault of the students, they are simply not being taught what they need to know to be competitive.
To rub salt in the wounds the US government has erected tariffs (limiting the number of education and employment visas, regulating foreign employees access to specific projects) further exacerbating the problem of having too few skilled employees to fill the positions that keep the US economy moving forward. The isolationists will save us from terrorism by strangulating our economy.
