fill skills gap."ur economy's fastest-growing sectors include high-tech manufacturing, health care, and new energy, yet many in the skilled trades either lack these skills or retiring without a younger generation trained to fulfill their open slots. guest: we have an incredible possibility for a number of people to be retiring from these industries moving forward. the fact is we do not have enough individuals coming to replace them. we have to look at some of these jobs and utilities, linesmen -- people who are climbing the utility poles, making sure our air-conditioning is running from a power generator operators -- these are areas where there are openings. we need to get people more aware about the fact that these jobs exist and how you can get there. in the energy, there is a great web sites -- website to look at your energy skills, called getintoenergy.com. host: next up, havre de grace, maryland, go ahead. caller: thank you for the show. it is ironic that c-span has spent more time on job training

it does been primarily about skills. the supply side of the situation is not going into a big recession. it is not why we are coming out so slowly. we had a massive financial collapse in the housing bubble. history says it will take quite some time, and we will grow slowly. in this timeframe of slow growth in the painful transition out, we must do everything we can to address the supply considerations that have always been there, to make sure that as we come out, we do not hit them again. let us use it as an opportunity to deal with the supply side issues. i mentioned earlier something we have not talked about. one of the things germany did is their support for the economy was in infrastructure projects. they got a permiting done. they employ a lot of people around the world. we have money that is not spent right now, because of problems in the permitting area. we need to think about the fact that we are in a slow recovery. it will be hard to pick up momentum. in the business sector do to try to help this and deal with s

highly skilled workers now outnumber lower skilled ones. begin with what immigrants are we talking about? guest: we used census data that the census bureau collects from all residents in the united states. this is not the 2010 census. we used the question about birthplace. we used all people who said they were foreign-born, people born outside of the united states to foreign-born parents. these include a legal permanent resident, a green card holders, temporary immigrants, refugees, students, people here on other kinds of business and visas. host: how did it happen that a highly skilled workers now outnumber lower skilled workers? guest: we looked at education levels of immigrants in the united states. we defined high skilled as a college degree or more. those that are low-skilled do not have a high-school diploma. we look at those three groups over time. you can see a convergence. the high skilled group grew faster. sometime around five years ago, the high skilled group outnumbered the low-skilled group. host: we have the study linked on o

the most highly educated skills, but just different kinds of skills. we think this is a very important issue. the second issue would point to is what we call high share. it is quite striking that when you think about everything going on with globalization, it is clear to us that the u.s. has benefited as much from an employment standpoint from that. we are not suggesting protectionism or tariffs, but rather how does the u.s. take more advantage of the kinds of opportunities that globalization offers to create employment here? some of that might include being opened to other companies investing in this country. some of that might include thinking about the kinds of opportunities and other ways of taking it vantage of different low-cost locations within the u.s.. even though the u.s. may be a high cost location, that is not true when you go to the local level in many instances. are there ways to take advantage of the fact that many of the new entrepreneurs in the world -- a lot of that is outside of the u.s.. there is a lot that can be done around this q

this is ford driving skills for life, a program aimed at the number one killer of teens. >> driving skills life is a partnership between ford and the governors' highway safety association that was started in 2003. the main goal was to reduce the number of teen fatalities. unfortunately, over 6,000 teens a year lose their lives due to vehicle crashes, many of which could be avoided. >> reporter: and that's what you learn in this program, how to anticipate and avoid accidents. professional drivers, many with car racing experience, are the instructors. >> we're going to be teaching you advanced driving skills. >> reporter: the outdoor classroom is the giant parking lot at cellular field in chicago. there are four courses that teach hands-on driving skills under safe and controlled conditions. here's a quick overview of each course. hazard recognition teaches that hitting the brake is not always the best choice in an emergency. the fatal vision goggles course shows how alcohol and drugs affect your coordination. you learn to deal with a skid in vehicle handling. >> no brake pedal, no brake ped

she brings a lot of strong skills to this process. i think having her there is good. >> susie: okay. >> the fact she's a woman is a plus. >> susie: just to wrap things up a lot of people listening to our conversation might be wondering what does the u.s. get out ever having christine laguard head of the imf. put it in context, please? >> the most important aspect is she's a sure pair of hands. she knows what she's doing and exudes experience and confidence. if europe spins out of control you want somebody that has a very good idea of how to the international financial system works and how you need to bring people to the table to get negotiations going again. i think from the context of u.s. markets if greece becomes a bigger problem and if contain gone will lack confidence and markets don't like a lack of confidence and uncertainty. >> susie: absolutely. thank you very much, scott. we appreciate you coming on the program tonight. >> my pleasure. >> susie: and we've been speaking with scott macdonald head of research for >> tom: here a

the shortage has reached a 10- year high. >> skill for a worker's -- skilled foreign workers are still a rare sight in germany, but berlin would like to change that because highly qualified non-u citizens could help german companies build jobs. the shortage of skilled workers is threatening to put a brake on economic growth. in may, there were more than 150,000 job vacancies in technical industries alone. the biggest shortfall during a mechanical engineering sector with over 30,000 vacancies, and electrical engineering with over 17,000. the german business and industry representatives say the government proposals do not go far enough. >> this should only be a first step. in the medium term, we need a comprehensive immigration policy like a system that awards points to potential immigrants according to their skills and the demand for them. >> if the government wants to make it easier for foreign physicians and engineers to qualify for german work permits, but once industry and labour unions to make the most of germany's own human resources. >> this includes increasing employment opportu

the most important thing is know what kinds of skills are in demand. just because you spent, you know, $100,000 to get an expensive degree doesn't mean anybody cares. you have to know what companies want, and there are a lot of things they do want. they want analytical skills, math and engineering talent, they want you to be able to take what you know about something you studied in liberal arts school and apply social media skills to that. you have to develop all of these skills, you know, look at the job listings, notice, practically all of them involve some kind of technology, whether it's cloud computing, social media and that doesn't mean you have to be a programmer or something like that. it means you have to apply these things to many different disciplines that maybe don't have anything to do with technology. >> i call it liberal smarts. if you're a liberal art, figure out how to put your arts smartly into a science and technology field. >> you have to keep learning. skills get outdated faster than ever mainly because of technology. >> you said -

can the work force fell the job market with the proper skills? do you see this skill mismatch? do you think that is the big problem? >> as an employer and as those providing employees to other companies, a skill mismatches extensive and more widespread than heads the popular literature. we think of that in terms of engineering as an example and it is there. we only generally have one candidate for jobs that we have available in the engineering space. that sort is the fact that in the skilled trades area and the technicians of all sorts and everything from electricians to plumbers and x-ray technicians, you pick the area, there's a tremendous shortage. we ed kelly usually have tens of thousands of open orders that are available in those zones that you cannot find people for. i think the skills mismatch is huge. i think we are doing very little in terms of national education policy or down to very specific policies and state levels to guide individuals into the areas where jobs are currently available or are going to be available. there is also the amount of time it takes to retr

it is a way of getting individuals who may not have found a job through limited skills or work history, get them the skills, whether it is administered of assistance or maintenance -- administrative assistant work for maintenance -- or maintenance. to get them a job in the private sector. it is not meant to be a permanent job. it is meant to be an opportunity to make some money, to put money in the hands of families to desperately needed, as well as get job skills. >> [unintelligible] >> that is exactly right, barbara. folks who were coming to offices who had the better resume or more jobs skills tend to be the ones who moved to the private sector. it is important to remember, the employer is actually doing the interviewing. we are not giving -- barbara taylor, here is your job. you take it. we go to the candidates and select the ones with the skills and experience that matched the job they are being hired for. so, it is a competitive process within the context of folks who are eligible for the program. the private sector is the best outcome. private sector, and subsidized. the folks i
