Ford CEO Jim Farley just dropped a rare truth bomb: America has over 1 million open jobs in critical fields—mechanics, truckers, factory workers, plumbers, electricians—and they can’t fill them. Ford is literally offering salaries “Ivy League grads might envy”… and still can’t find people to take the jobs.
In this episode, we break down:
- Ford’s warning about the skilled labor crisis
- How subsidies and student loans distorted the entire education market
- The Swiss apprenticeship model that actually works (teens working 3–4 days a week, learning real skills, getting paid)
- Why teachers’ unions and the education cartel would fight this tooth and nail
- And why real reform means partnering with businesses, not bloating more bureaucracy
If you’re tired of watching kids rack up six figures in debt for a job that doesn’t exist while the country is desperate for people who can actually do things… this one’s for you.
