The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

What skill set is needed to work at a chip factory?

Boeing’s problems may have started when they went from being a premier engineering company to a more business bottom line oriented company.

Some of their problems happened when they opened a manufacturing plant in South Carolina, where there was very little of the safety culture mentality associated with manufacturing in Seattle.

Tools and metal shards were left inside the wings, where they could potentially rupture the fuel tanks or cause other problems.

Given that people have to follow strict clean room procedures when manufacturing chips, is the U.S. work force really set up to do that? I live near a high school, and, post Covid, at least 50 to 60 or more kids walk away from the school every single day, getting zero free education. I don’t know what they do in their spare time, but I see them waiting at bus stops or walking to the local malls or fast food joints. I seriously doubt any of them would follow the procedures needed to manufacture reliable chips.
