business welcome adding to a roller coaster week for investors worried about a trade war between the u.s. and china fresh figures out today show that the u.s. only added a modest one hundred fifty thousand jobs and mosque. that's after several months of robust kids the u.s. government insists the labor market is fundamentally healthy unemployment remains at a seventeen year low for the six straight months the recovery remains on track in its ninth year and wages are on the rise but the slow don't down in hiring may have other roots a lack of qualified workers. analysts say last month's modest drop games play indicate that some u.s. employers are struggling to find and retain workers with the skills they need a u.s. bank survey showed sixty one percent of business owners were experiencing extreme or moderate difficulty finding qualified employees to expand their business the federal reserve notes labor shortages could be slowing down growth in the

manufacturing transportation and construction sectors u.s. politicians are trying to pass legislation to create more vocational training opportunities in the united states alone we have over by the year two thousand and twenty sesame to over six million jobs that are going to be open and available that we cannot find qualified train workers for after the the tax cuts and reform legislation that we passed into law just just a couple months ago we've seen the growth of new job opportunities now that will be for nothing if we don't have these pathways for individuals to be qualified and trained if american businesses are not able to soon find sufficient workers to fill their needs consumers could see food price increases with workers in short supply and have to wait longer for manufactured products and services. china has called on the european union for a unified response to the threat of further punitive terrorists amounting to one

hundred billion u.s. dollars beijing is announcing sweeping countermeasures and accuses the us of arrogance and blatant offenses of international trade lol if the us continues down the path of trade protectionism china is patents. it through to its conclusion that's what the chinese trade minister said in beijing on friday. donald trump's further threats about terrorists have subjected the markets to a rollercoaster ride this week only bad standing by and frankly how did today's u.s. jobs figures play into all that. well they contributed to a minor roller coaster ride if you look at the docs behind me but the figures themselves the numbers could be interpreted by the people here in the market and we're as is almost ideal because they were low enough that they didn't put any additional pressure on the fed the federal reserve which sets interest rates to speed up hikes that's good for the market and they were high enough suggesting

a healthy enough economy not to get worried but the trade conflict was clearly in the forefront here and the market while it recovered briefly from from losses from many of the losses in the united states and here in frankfurt when donald trump's top economic advisor larry kudlow suggested that the u.s. and china would start talking soon over trade. well it's been a volatile week so it's friday today let's have a look at the week ahead both the chinese president and the u.s. president will be appearing at international summits and thereby addressing world audiences well can we expect that. it could be just as turbulent next week because right on monday the chinese president xi jinping is appearing at the both summit that's sort of the asian equivalent to that of those meeting and of course he will talk about trade that's a given he's supposed to talk about chinese performs the among others for the

financial sector and that's eagerly awaited by the market as well and is important for the world economy donald trump will be the big draw at the summit of the americas at the end of the week will be in lima peru where the american countries from canada in the north to argentina and chile in the south will meet and donald trump is sure to cause a stir there with any remark on trade and you can't not talk about trade that's right yes you can also talk not more talk about trade. in frankfurt thank you very much. well everybody is talking about trade and about donald trump's tariffs and the trade war but there are examples for growing economic corporations between the u.s. and the e.u. and germany in particular one such example is the german american skills initiative which is trying to introduce germany's well established system of the so-called dual education to the united states combines classroom learning with hands on the

occasional training started three years ago the initiative is now beginning to bear fruit. it's seven in the morning and colin mckeon is already at work the seventeen year old is training as an industrial mechanic at each e.o. it's an american tech from and union you had lent producing components for household appliances coats three year apprenticeship is based on the german educational model and he even gets paid in the us where apprenticeships are often unpaid provide only basic training and have a bad reputation but cold believes this program is a gateway to success this definitely gives me a jump start you know getting ahead of the ball and everybody else because i'll be having an associate degree the same time as people just have a high school diploma e.g. o. is only one of twenty eight businesses and join john that have joined forces to create their own pool of highly skilled workers for them embracing the job an apprenticeship model means addressing one of the biggest problems in u.s.

manufacturing we cannot find workers out there that have the basic skills as an industrial mechanic a machinist electrician any of the true vocational trades that we used to create in america forty fifty years ago the german system is is a really good example for a model to follow the apprenticeship you have in germany one hundred years old gives us exactly the programs that we need to create that work for. the german system combines hands on training and classroom learning same here colin mckeon spends half of his day at union center education center which brings together schools colleges and companies we're seeing a tremendous growth in the skill set of these young people we hear it from our employers we're seeing growth in our employers they're getting trained mentors who have a skill set that perhaps they didn't have before to teach young people how to get

ready for the jobs of the future in the fact. supports comes from the german american chamber of commerce in atlanta which certifies that all trainings are implemented according to german standards those standards are tough but the month is still high there's great interest from companies here in the united states but also other foreign companies and the united states the german company is always on the forefront advocating these programmes and then the others follow the importance of skilled labor has also been recognised in the world of politics georgia's legislature even changed a number of laws to accommodate the german model pushed forward by the state's lieutenant governor. i want to be able to expand this all. and i also want to expand it in terms of not just simply in more locations but also being able to expand in different different types of degree programs back in you know in

codes long day is coming to and it's parents are happy with their son's career choice i love the opportunity they have gave him. a head on his career and job and here have a chance to work and learn everything that he's able to learn and actually fill me in half of the same time i think that it's a great opportunity for kids and if all goes according to plan called mckeon is looking at a bright future so promising signs there from the grassroots level of economic relations but can that be damaged by the content around time let's bring in she's a vice president with a representative of german industry and trade in the u.s. and joins us now from our washington studio does this example mean that grassroots trade relations between germany and the u.s. are completely undamaged. well this example actually shows that despite the current debate about tariffs about trade policy the german american trade relations and

economic relations in a broader sense are what they are the united states are germany's most important export market and we have about five thousand german companies invested here in the united states those companies are here to state they create seven hundred thousand jobs all across the united states and their main concern is filling these jobs with qualified people so these apprenticeship programs initiated by the german companies will continue but it's not just german companies with factories in the u.s. it increases the u.s. companies adopting that dual education system what do you what do you hearing from them. indeed these clusters or apprenticeship programs started on the initiative of the german companies but bit by bit now three years down the road more and more american companies japanese companies and other european companies are joining and sold by now in these programs that are certified by the german american chambers of commerce german companies are only fifty percent of the

participating companies and as we also have seen in the sport we have seen before. it's the german companies who start the process and then it's actually the peers american companies japanese companies in the region who see what's happening who go there talk to the c.e.o.'s talk to the apprentice a little apprentice what they are actually learning and why it's a good idea and then they say ok this is actually a convincing model so they then join the program later on this is something we have seen not only in georgia but all across the programs in the different states. and that's it for me thanks for watching bye bye.
