JPMorgan Discovers 'Talent Shortage' After Decades of Exporting Jobs
JPMorgan Chase, an institution that profits handsomely from globalized markets and outsourcing, now warns that America's 'workforce shortage' is a looming 'national security threat.' This is according to their own report, conveniently bolstering their recently announced $1.5 trillion U.S. investment initiative. The same corporations that championed policies dismantling U.S. manufacturing and
sending high-skill jobs overseas for decades now express shock— shock! —that the U.S. labor pool isn't primed to build their AI future. It appears the 'skills gap' becomes a dire national security matter only when it directly impacts defense contracts and semiconductor fabs—industries where profit margins are astronomical, often subsidized by federal grants and tax breaks. One might ponder how
this 'talent shortage' was overlooked while American workers were encouraged to pursue gig-economy 'flexibility' instead of industrial skills. Perhaps the real 'shortage' was in corporate foresight, not labor.
