Description

A second discussion of trade issues with Messrs. Browning and Jasinowski (cf. #S1173). The first half-hour focused on the implications of, as WFB puts it, "the wounded Asian world." This session comes back home and looks at the American worker--and, in terms of training, our guests don't like what they see. But they are not prepared to give up, and this show is ultimately quite encouraging. PB: "Now, before individuals can get in the available pool to join the [Sonoco] plant, we're asking them to go over to the local community college to be trained there and tested and evaluated to see if they've got the requisite skills; also to help them get those skills." ... JJJ: "We have to ... move people up to a whole higher level of skills. It's not just basic mathematics and basic reading. It's also computer skills. It's a new critical facility. If we're going to continue to increase productivity, you have to have people trained much better than what we have historically had in manufacturing."
