No Skills, No Job!

We all know that unemployed is higher than it's been in decades, and the numbers could get worse before they get better. The sad reality is that when the economy does begin to turn around, many disenfranchised workers will not be prepared to reenter the workforce.

The Detroit Free Press reports that one in three working age adults in Michigan, or 1.7 million people cannot read well enough to be hired for a job to support a family. More that 40% of this total lacks a high school diploma or GED. So while our President pushes job creation, it appears that many workers will not be qualified to be hired due to lack of adequate skills. This is the true reality of the situation, so while jobs will be created in the future, adequate skills will still be necessary to be considered employable.
