105. It's the premise I find difficult to accept.

That there is a dearth of qualified US STEM applicants that strikes me as bullshit.

It is no secret that corporations are always looking to cut costs.

Northeastern union manufacturing employees and high taxes putting a crimp in your bottom line? No problem. Move your operations south where unions are not respected and take advantage of that and the lower tax rates.

The standard of living in the South going up because you moved all your manufacturing there, putting a crimp in your bottom line? No problem. Move your operations to the southwest.

The standard of living in the Southwest going up because you moved all your manufacturing there, putting a crimp in your bottom line? No problem. Move your operations to China or another place where labor costs are practically nil.

Now that we've almost completely exported manufacturing, other things that they do were going to be next for the chopper.

It's not that there aren't enough US STEM workers to fill jobs, they just don't want to pay them what they'd expect to be paid. So just fabricate the idea of a shortage, and whammo.
