Exactly. Skilled labor and an aged population doesn't help much. What happens to the worker over 50...or even 40 with a family to privide for...there isn't much time to acquire new skills. It's easier said when you don't have a family to provide for or responsibilities. There should be a transition period where people are allowed time to obtain new skills instead of being dropped...and in some cases, left to be picked up by local government - job training programs are not cheap.

They have those training programs in America. The problem is training or education never created a job. You can stamp all the degrees and certifications you want, but if there's no jobs, its fundamentally not going to help.
