I do read posts this long, esp in winter But what Neil is saying applies not only to Britain, but to many other countries, Canada amongst them .... we are short of skilled workers, esp. electricians, pipe fitters, plumbers, carpenters, nurses etc. Soon there will be major opportunities in Ontario for those skilled in any of the trades related to the refurbishing of nuclear power plants .... and after this little recession is over and we come barrell assing out of it into a boom, the construcion industry will need bodies .... and there will be lots of opportunities in the oil patch for those with experience operating and maintaining heavy equipment. In short (well shorter) we have lots of people with degrees, and not enough with practical skills.
