There are plenty of engineers and machinists, etc in the U.S. - if anything, there's a glut of them ...

The real problem is the pay is way too low. Wages for many occupations, such as machinist, assembly-line worker, etc have been slashed to around 1/2 of what they were just a decade or so ago...

Many employers requiring such workers, instead of paying a fair, living wage, claim there's a shortage to justify bringing in off-shore workers / getting government subsidies.
