In an article in today's WSJ regarding the growth of manufacturing jobs in the US---the article concluded with this:
Dave Younge, an owner of Progressive Stamping & Fabrication LLC in Oklahoma City, which produces everything from seat-belt components to compressor parts, said manufacturing jobs will continue to require higher skills, such as familiarity with automation, computer technology and training in mathematics. He says more people should consider the industry, because many manufacturers often pay for employee training programs.

“Building things is fun,” Mr. Younge says. “My favorite group to pick on are political science majors. How many of those in our economy do we need?”
