CNC lack of workers ?

This industry doesn't pay a decent living wage pretty much anywhere on earth, certainly not on a 40hr work week.

In Switzerland it does. I work 41 hours a week and there are a lot of open positions. The only downside is you need to speak the local language (german,french or italian).

If it does, then why "there are a lot of open positions." ??

No one wants to work in a shop anymore. We can all make TikTok and YouTube videos and be paid to be influencers

I’ve heard several shops in nisku Alberta take on forgin in workers through a government program.
Nisku is right outside of Edmonton.
Mostly oilfeild machining.

Alberta’s a great place. Wages are decent and cost of living reasonable
Love it here

Probably the most for their people provincial government in Canada. If I didn’t find my dream property in the Cariboo region here in BC, Alberta would have been where I went looking next.

Had quite a few friends move to Alberta the last few years from BC. Cashed out of the lowermainland and bought nice custom homes on acreage and kept $ in the bank. Have plenty of work in their industries and are enjoying life.

The easy answer: Most jobs here pay enough to make a living, so why do a job where you get your hands dirty? In reality it's a bit more complicated though.

Babyboomers getting retired and the following generation did have less childred is one problem. Similar problems like in the rest of the first world.

My response was very simplified but the birth rate is falling in the US too as far as i know

Here in Switzerland the unemployment rate is very low and more people are leaving the workforce than new ones entering. Without immigration our economy would collapse.
