* end government subsidies for hospitals (and the attached strings)

  "Since fraudulent professions of skill were the natural result of the high demand for cometences and the rewards they could bring, buyers of labor had to be constantly on their guard. John Augustine Washington was not fooled by the servant he bought who 'called himself' a tailor. But vigilance was not enough... Buyers, therefore, sought legal protection. In 1753 VA passed an elaborate Act for the Better Government of Servants and Slaves, in which it was explained that 'many abuses have been committed by persons who under pretence of understanding trades and mysteries have procured large sums of money to be advanced to them, and entered into covenantes with merchants and others in Great Britain or elsewhere for the payment of yearly wages, though they were really ignorant of, and unable to perform, such trades or mysteries... [anyone] imported into this colony as a tradesman, or [as a] workman on wages, and shall be found not to understand such trade or employment' should be sued by their masters in the country courts, and if convicted of such fraud could be punished by 'defalcation of... wages' or by extension of time of service." --- Bernard Bailyn 1986 _Voyagers to the West_ pp268-269 (citing William Waller Hening _Statutes at Large: Being a Collection of All the Laws of Virginia_ vol6 pg368)

  "Between 1940 and 1960, the percent of black families with incomes below the official poverty line fell from 87% to 47%. In various skilled trades, the income of blacks relative to whites more than doubled between 1936 and 1959. The principal factor that raised black incomes during that period, both absolutely and relative to white income, was migration -- from low-income areas to higher-income areas... this movement from the South put millions of blacks into places where their children would get better education, while their parents had better job opportunities. With the passing years and generations, more and more of these migrant families ceased to be black red-necks, acculturating themselves in new surroundings, as minority groups tend to do in countries around the world." --- Thomas Sowell _Black Rednecks & White Liberals_ pg50 (citing Stephan Thernstrom & Abigail Thernstrom 1997 _America in Black and White: One Nation, Indivisible_ pg233; Orley Ashenfelter 1970 Fall "Changes in labor Market Discrimination Over Time" _Journal of Human Resources_ pg405; James P.

  "Most mavericks are purely goal driven.     They are apolitical & become frustrated by everything that detracts them from their goal.     When faced with resistance, they often are incredulous, thinking that if they can see things so clearly, everyone else must also.     They conclude that people reject their ideas because they (a) are stupid, (b) have a hidden agenda, or (c) are out to get them. As a result, mavericks are usually terrible at selling their ideas...     Like most edge employees, [Jacob] Miles had no strategy, no grand plan on how to convince the others.     It never occurred to him to have one.     He thought the wisdom & importance...     It is easy to see why most organizations consider rogue employees to be frustrating.     Their view of the world is so obvious to them, so implicitly true, most never think in terms of developing a strategy for selling their idea...     Most mavericks become frustrated & bitter.     Working relationships become strained, & they quickly become forced by circumstances to leave...     If nothing else can be said of the people on the edge, they are persistent.     Ignore them, belittle them, even abuse them, & they seem to invariably come back for more...     In the end, that is all any of these employees on the edge desire: an open mind &, ultimately, acceptance." --- Wayne Burkan 1996 _Wide Angle Vision_ pp 60-66  

 
 

2018 July
_President's Council of Economic Advisers_
addressing USA's "re-skilling challenge"; valuations by employer executives, employees, and college/universitie/school faculties & administrators & executives of specific skills & knowledge differ
"...To sustain the momentum [of economic recovery], it will be necessary to return the economy to pre-Great Recession [and preferably to before 2000-2002 recession] employment-to-population ratios and labor productivity rates. To do so will take more than simply lowering the unemployment rate [unemployed-and-actively-seeking-work/(unemployed-and-actively-seeking-work + employed)] beyond 2018 May's 3.8% level, which ties the lowest unemployment rate since 1969...     employment gains must also come from working-age [USA citizens] returning to employment from the side-lines...     the skills required in newly created jobs will be different from those eliminated...     a displaced skilled worker has to accept a lower-paying position that does not utilize all of the skills he had accumulated (Couch and Placzek 2010)...     Individuals stand to gain from successful re-skilling eforts, but face information and financial [and book, and transportation, and clothing, and housing, and updating computer hardware & software tools...] challenges...     Employers have [weak & weakening] incentives to train workers to meet their skill needs [and desires], but also fear newly trained workers will be hired away [and such fears, and prefernces for bodyshopping/gigging/contingent employment/contracting/temping/consulting/out-sourcing/off-shoring have been climbing since at least the mid-1970s]...     workers must have a [clear & stable] sense of the gap between the skills they possess and those demanded in the labor market [by employers/executives, which demand is constantly shifting, and unknown to both job-seekers & schools/colleges/universities, in part because of employers' aversion to running afoul of labor laws; they cannot say, ‷we did not interview you because x‴ without taking on legal risk].     Moreover, given the reduction in geographic mobility [in part due to reductions in incentives for employers/hiring-managers to fly job candidates cross-country for interviews, provide relocation assistance including temporary housing, and because many of those not employed lack the means to re-locate themselves, they are anchored to a location which may no longer have the kinds of employment to which their personal gifts & skills lend themselves]...     Other private organizations may also make valuable contributions to meet the re-skilling challenge [but have been subject to crony socialist scamming since the end of WW2]...     [Figure 4 clearly suggests a great deal of possibly illegal discrimination on the basis of age.]...     What are we training for? the information [whack-a-mole] problem in re-skilling efforts...     The most recent estimates from the BLS suggest there were in excess of 6.6M job vacancies in the USA as of 2018 May [and, at the same time, a dearth/short-fall/insufficiency of jobs of over 20M to recover those aforementioned employment/population ratios to full-employment levels]...     The private arket and public-private [crony socialist] partnerships...     Perhaps more promising sources of data on employer skill requirments (and their geographies) are on-line job posting aggregators such as GlassDoor, Burning Glass, Indeed.com, [Monster], and EMSI/CareerBuilder [none of which are worth a cent for finding a non-bodyshop/non-gig/non-contingent/non-temp/non-contract/non-consulting career employment opportunity, and none of which allow reasonable specification of target regions]...     [Lack of standardization of occupation titles, industry specifications.]...     Unemployment insurance [also anchors the unemployed to a single state, rather than encouraging moving to where the appropriate jobs are]...     Both TAA [for a small fraction of those displaced by GATT/GATS/TiSA induced cross-border bodyshopping & off-shoring] and WIOA programs support transitions back to employment...     [Rather than more government programs, a much better solution would be restoration and beefing up of incentives for employers to recruit, train, and re-locate USA citizens while reducing and eliminating incentives for both within-USA & cross-border bodyshopping/gigging/contingent employment/contracting/temping/consulting/out-sourcing, draining-talent-and-dumping-it practices.]"

  "Apart from my mother, my only role models were the cow-boy heroes I saw on the screen in the movie theater...     The Westerns I saw starring men like Gary Cooper, John Wayne, Randolph Scott, & Joel McCrea provided me with plenty of positive examples for proper & moral behavior.   Each time I walked out of a theater after a Saturday matinee, I felt empowered with the belief that there were such men & the dream that I might grow up one day to be like them...   they had a lot to offer a young boy eager for lessons in life.   Their behavior in each film was governed by the 'Code of the West': loyalty, friendship, & integrity.   They taught me about not being [conceited], about doing what is right even when the risk is great." --- Chuck Norris 1996 _The Secret Power Within_ pg 13
