You can call BS all you want but manufacturing is my profession, and has been for 22 years. I follow the trends and watch where opportunities start to become apparent. Right now currently the best place to become employed with my skill sets and live comfortably are within the midwest. California is not going to be what it used to be as far as the mecha of precision manufacturing. This boat has sailed. 

 

The link is an example of Tech. I can mail you my current engineering solutions magazine talking about the same migration of tech manufacturing.

here is an example from 2013 of companies reshoring back to the USA.

 All of these skills are on the job training or Community College level training. You do not have take all the liberal arts classes as prerequisites for these specialized fields. If you are applying for the specific position of Engineer then yes the credential is needed. For fixture design and Solid modeling from 2D prints is not required to have any degreed credential. Just the knowledge of the software systems and experience with fixture holdings. 

 

Matt, I respect your experience in manufacturing, but my response was in regard to your statement that the midwest is becoming the tech capital of the USA. You & I both know that is wildly inaccurate.

 

I clearly said that the OUTPUT of California factories has grown 73%, and absolutely nothing about the cost of living, or the number of low tech fixture manufacturing jobs here. In fact, although production is up 73%, California lost 34% of it’s manufacturing jobs over the same period of time. That however is totally inconsequential to being the tech capital of the USA.

 

According to the LA Times, California’s surge in production comes from innovations in machinery, manufacturing materials, computing power, and strong networks of industry clusters. With 22 years experience, you must know all about the trend towards automation in precision manufacturing. You also know that in a very short time, skilled labor intensive manufacturing jobs will be the boat that has sailed. The national trend is toward automation in high tech manufacturing, and Northern California Silicon Valley has lead that trend. Now the fastest growing and highest paid manufacturing jobs in California is in advanced technology sectors requiring college educated people. If Texas wants to pilfer obsolete labor intensive manufacturing, WTF. Is that a smart long term economic strategy given the clear trends in manufacturing?

You want to understand the bug up my ass about the Enron and the Lone Star State.

Let's clarify this again Matt, The OUTPUT of state FACTORIES has surged 73% during the last 15 years, NOT the gross manufacturing output of the entire state. I am talking about manufacturing trends in advanced technology industries, as it relates to California being the tech capital and the amount of education needed to stay relevant in HIGH tech manufacturing with the threat of growing automation. Here in the Bay Area it is abundantly clear, we do not have enough educated Americans to fill the new tech manufacturing jobs that are here, right now.

 

I mean no disrespect, and I don't want to get bogged down in another apples to oranges argument. If you'd rather not talk about the trends and future of tech specific manufacturing please say so.

Republican's would go to jail for this.

Interesting that Pennsylvani has a Russian flag then, it's to the left in the preview image. This video is not from the USA, come on guys don't post fake crap when so much real crap is available.

That's the thing the article you are quoting from is out of 2013 and the one I posted was from 2015. I also tried to google your logistics but cannot find anything current. I have been able to find multiple articles "Current" that talk of the Tech decline not only in output but also like you said lack of skilled employees. 

 

Every article I have come across have things in common and that is how California has regulated itself into a toxic environment for even fully automated manufacturing along with advanced technology. I am not doing Apples to Oranges. California is on the decline and other regions are much more fertile for re-shoring and migrating advanced Tech and Tech manufacturing. 

 

Because of the unfriendly over burden of government in California more and more companies will relocate. 

 

I do not agree with your assessment. You hate Enron but that has nothing to do with regional trade work declines. 

 

At the risk of this being drug out I will agree to disagree.
