Its a complex problem. We have too many lawyers self interested in earning profits which comes at the expense of health care and industry. If we had less lawyers trying to keep busy and more engineers.... I live outside of Chicago, I can tell you most of the construction sites are dominated by illegals. My guess is many of the chronically unemployed now and in the future will be those who chose the wrong fields and are not too swift. I have no doubt any technically oriented person who can go through a junior college or the military and gain technical experience will have no problem having a very good career. So long as they stay drug free. But the reality is that when the solar and wind materials are made they will likely be produced overseas. When the plants are built there will be a large illegal alien component at the expense of employable citizens. When these plants are built they require little maintenance and it will only be for highly technical people. Anyone who knows someone entering the job market should steer them towards the energy industry. The jobs are relatively high paying and challenging. The employment future is good in the energy industry.
