with the rite skills.nd while the overall skill is improvement or going down, some americans unable to find the right job are simply dropping out of the labor force whatever. she does not have the luxury of dropping out of the labor force she says since she lost her job as a labor personality in 2009 tara has used her skill, like voice over work and applying as an extra on the program grimn. unless the company underwent restructuring. tara, you are not in a position, i don't know if that's your makeup or the fact that you've got kids to just leave the workforce. so you got to find something. >> it's -- that's absolutely right. and when i lost my job on the radio in 2009 it was an incredibly upsetting experience because it was something that i loved so much and had given me a wonderful lifestyle that we had become very used to. and when i lost that job i told my sons that in that moment i had a choice to make that i could lie down and cry and lie down in a puddle and cry and wait for someone to save me or i

we have skilled labor. >> it is interesting to hear that the skills gap is so prevalent across the countrywe are going to go to nebraska and then hear from tennessee as well as wisconsin. >> i think education is very important, and we talk about low taxes and regulation. we are trying to make sure our kids understand we are competing globally. i have been on 12 different trade missions from cuba to china. we have done reversed trade missions where we brought 500 people to our state. it's a very comprehensive approach. the second lowest unemployment rate in america. there's a reason the number one american capitalist is located in nebraska, warren buffett. we are a low regulatory environment. i agree with what everybody is saying. we are competing globally today. we are prepared to do that and willing to compete against adding other state. that competition helps all of us get better. >> you don't think people understand today that we are competing globally? >> i can go to the smallest town in nebraska and they know their products are being exported to china, japan, europe. they understand a

step two is making sure every american has the skills to fill those jobs. step three is we have to guarantee every child access to a world-class education, from early childhood, to college, to a career. [applause] step four, we have to make sure the hard work pays off, with wages you can live on, savings that you can retire on, health insurance there when you need it. today we are here to focus on that second point, connecting more ready to work americans with ready to be filled jobs, so folks out of work can apply the skills they have already got. getting people back on the job faster is one of our top priorities, but i have to confess, last month, congress made that harder by letting unemployed insurance expired for more than a million people. each week congress fails to restore that insurance, roughly 72,000 americans will lose their lifeline. for our fellow americans that have been laid off through no fault of their own, on implement insurance is often the only source of income they have got while they look for a new job. when erick was out of work, it

not your skills are not skilled. i speak from someone who is not skilled. when you say highlight and drag or drag and highlight, that takes me probably longer than an average person to do. actually looking at these questions, i am so glad that i have graduated from high school already. i even set this on what is the right answer. so those are my concerns is that if this is all of the computer we have so many students that don't have computers at home. they just don't have them. those are the students that will be then disadvantaged from those students who have maybe four or five computers at home that are used to doing all that stuff as five things up on a screen like my son was. then i'm also concerned about the el's about the reading level. if you can't comprehend, if you can't read it but it doesn't match with comprehension. if your reading skills are low, if somebody were to verbalize, the content you might understand it verbally, but because of your reading skills for our el's are not at that level then they wou

we help people build their skills to do jobs, especially older people need to upgrade near skills. >> i'm assuming technical skills. >> the latest version of word and excel and comfort with different technologies. technologies have changed so drastically. we are teaching classes. i'm using linkdin and twitter. >> what is the success rate to get them placed? >> in the last year close to a thousand people got jobbed through jds. people are getting jobs and getting them every day. for people out of work for a long time, who have ages of barrier and competitive skills, people are looking at long and discouraging job searches. >> even with your help? >> yes. part of what we do is help people not only develop skills and help them with connections and support so they can sustain themselves through long job searches. one thing we are learning is how effective it is for people to work in groups together. we are doing group-based training more and more. people are finding support from each other and sharing leads and ideas. we are spawning off what we are calling success teams where a group wil

immigrants over detroit's skilled residents. maureen taylor would prefer training native detroiters for high tech fields. >> production has been replaced by technology. what does that mean for my lands? what do you want my hands to do? well, if you don't need my hands any more, then there is an issue. >> retired educator and community organizers welcomes immigrants like those who have review vitalized southwest detroit, also known as mexico town. but he worries that it could weaken detroit's black community. >> you think this would be a way to displace black people in detroit. >> it has been happening. we lost 237,000 people many of whom were african-american. >> detroit's newly elected city council president said the city needs new blood. >> the immigrants coming in there is space for them. there is still space for the blacks to be here. we're not trying to put anybody else. we're not trying to eliminate anybody. we're trying to grow. >> reporter: people like maureen taylor who are leary of the idea. >> people continue to think

but going forward those are exactly the kind of skills, the path that robots are good at. machines are good at. what machines are not particularly good at is creativity, inventing new things, entrepreneurial insights, or interpersonal relations relating to other people. we probably need to spend more time, we do need to spend more time reinventing education to focus on that set of skills, creative become interpersonal relations relating to other people, motivating people. rather than the skills that were dominated in the second machine age following instructions. >> so i have one question pushing back a little bit on education. how does increasing the educational and skill level workers lead to more jobs when job creation is driven by aggregate demand within the domestic economy? >> two good questions. the first is about, even if we get the educational system right, would that be futile? output enough. when we talk to business leaders the most common complaint that we hear is i cannot find people with the skills i need. all up and down the ladder. from my front line employ

our department of workforce services is very tuned into helping people develop these skills that the marketplace wants. the head of our department workforce services was a lady by the name of kristen cox, and she is blind. she is an inspiration to many because she is proving the fact that no matter what your disability is, there are some that you can do in a significantly positive way. she has done such a great job. she is now in my director -- he is now my director of office budget. we are in the process of going through that with our legislative session. as mary has said, it is anybody who needs a helping hand. we are trying to help them develop the skills to be able to find a place in the marketplace to be selfless -- to be self- sufficient. >> i know a number of states also are working specifically with returning veterans, many have come back with post dramatic stress. other abnormalities. and making sure that we go above and beyond to make sure that they have the right training and again, if people can work, we need to find ways for them to work. >> i think that is all. the ligh

we know that you need people with the skills in order to grow the economy, and you need the skills to advance in this economy. which is why everything from early childhood education to graduate education, skills training at community college and four-year colleges in the middle, is critical to our future. so yes, we have more to do. these are areas where we ought to be able to still make more progress. >> larry fink was here last night, manages more money than anyone else, up to $4 trillion black rock. he said there are the energy discoveries that we have, america's private sector is sitting on a lot of money to invest in their own cash accounts. we now seem to have a regulatory structure in place that will allow banks to really play a significant role. do you agree with that? >> i would add a couple of items, but let me speak to those three and maybe add one or two. i think the transformation of energy resources in this country over the last five years, 10 years, is nothing short of a revolution in both the availability of domestic resources that are cheap and make us more competitiv

there will work to identify skills that are needed for entry-level positions and match the skills with courses offered by our colleges and provide internships. by completing these identified courses and by practical experience they will put the students on a fast track for opportunities, including full-time jobs, and we look forward to other employers joining dupont on this initiative. though they also ensure that those students to choose an accelerated career path, one that does not involve a degree. we will allow a new two-year comprehensive program and manufacturing technology for high school juniors and seniors. the problem will focus on mechanical, electrical and computer engineering and lead to national and recognize manufacturing certificates. modeled after a partnership between delaware tech which allows students to attend classes at their own school while augmenting what they learned by providing access to manufacturing equipment and to lower tech. no, to make our new program even more meaningful it also must include real-world experience, and that is where a new public-privat

they don't know how to repurpose those skills. takes people who understand that and have that experience to either use those skills or teach others how to understand it, and how to learn what it is that we have gone through. >> tell me how this works. how do your skills now translate from the military to disaster relief when we are talking about team rubicon. >> team rubicon is a veteran's organization that conducts disaster response. we partnered with the bob woodward foundation as well as others, and we are training people, veterans and -- and others to become disaster response professionals, and we do this through a series of education and just general repurposing, finding those places in disaster response where we can best use our skills. >> lana we wish you luck. >> thank you for having us. >>> severe bought means tough decisions for california ranchers. beef is more than a $3 billion business in that state, so the potential impact is tremendous. melissa has the story. >> reporter: sunrise over the ranch and the cattle have a

what can we do to increase educational skill level, to lead to more jobs? this is a much more specific question. >> them is a little bit about that. routine information passed have been especially hard hit over the past 10 years. it basically means following instructions, like a tax preparer we were talking about or travel agency. it turns out a big chunk of the american economy is devoted to those stats. careful research by my colleague david otter and others at m.i.t. has found if you look at the skill content of all the occupations, the more routine information processing involved in the task, the more demand has declined among fewer jobs in the categories come at the more the wages under pressure. so if you're looking for a job to stay away from, it would be routine information processing. >> a job that requires the three hours we so they taught so much of an primary education. >> if you look at the way schools are structured, they're very much set out to get people to sit quietly and rose and learn how to follow instructions carefully. that was a valua

the existence of a skills gap is not just about millennials. 39% of u.s.mployers are having difficulty finding any staff who have the right skills. many stereo types abound about millennials, they are lazy, entitled, spoiled. but brad who has coached thousands of millennial workers say they are no better or worse than past generations. they can bring a lot to the conference table. brad is the co-author of "manager 3.0." his firm also works with fortune 500 companies as well as small businesses. brad good to see you. >> great to see you, ali. when you think about it sometimes it's more difficult for entry level people to get jobs at anytime because they don't have skills, background, necessarily the experiences that employers are looking for. >> sure. >> so it's just a little trickier, because we're still not totally out of this recession. >> you have worked with these people and companies that have to hire them, and that's an imperati imperative, because they are the future of the work force, so one of us has to figure it out. are they homogeneous as a gro

we need that skill base in the small and medium enterprises. that is very important in terms of where and how we invest. if i would give you on education, it is really stem community colleges for advanced manufacturing. have the universities front and center in terms of how you invest in where you invest. have a plan for the veterans are coming back to your state. have some governmental institution allow big companies and small companies to integrate in clusters or other activities. you can grow and create jobs but you have to compete. that is the watch word on the global economy. business and government have to work together. we invest roughly $12 billion each year in r&d, we do it around big themes, we do it around different locations. education is extremely important, mainly around math and science. last i would say, thanks for the great work you do. the states give us a platform in which we can compete. you are the entrepreneurs in government. you can get things done. i hope you utilize that, the chance to try new things, and utilize your s

skills in order to add snrans this economy. which is why everything from early childhood education to graduate education with things like skills training, community college and four-year colleges in the middle is critical to our future, so, yes, we have more to do, i think these are areas where we ought to be able to still make more progress. >> rose: you are optimistic for the country, larry fink was here last night and manages more money more, more than anybody else, $4 trillion at black rock and he said the three things that encourage him about the u.s. economy is the energy discoveries we have, secondly, it was that america's private sector is sitting on a lot of money to invest in their own cash accounts and third we now seem to have a regulatory structure in place that will allow banks to really play a significant role. do you agree with that? >> i think all of those are reasons for strength, i would add a couple of items to that strength but let me speak to those three and maybe add one or two. i think that, you know, tr

who cannot simply move in to preexisting jobs but also cannot put together the resources and the skills necessary to go in to a ordinary fellow practice as a service that needs there certainly is a disconnect as felt by the practices bar. they say that legal scholarship is not serving the ends of professionalism and not serving the legal professor. i'm not sure that's a problem. i don't know it should be the goal of legal scholars. to meet the immediate end of professionalism. what legal scholar should be doing is taking a detached view of the law of legal institutions and professional its and subjecting it to rigorous inquiry. they should do toward the end of trying to critique law as to toward increasing the knowledge about the legal system. they should, in other words use scholarships so as to further the end of justice and the end of knowledge and the truth sometimes the scholarship will be of use to the practicing bar and the bench. sometime it is won't be. sometimes the goals are more farsightedded than that. >> now you're a law professor. what do you teach here? >> i teach contra

gap so we can have a highly skilled, educated workforce to help america still be calm and still be the superpower of the world and be very competitive. this initiative also talks about something that we think it's very important, and that is, as you look at today's workforce, we know that the majority of jobs that are created in america now require more than a high school degree. in fact, we call it the new minimum, and the new minimum is that our workforce needs something beyond high school, whether it is a career technology certificate, an associates degree, a college degree or above, to be able to achieve the american dream to be able to reach the middle class. that is something that we all strive for in our states and for our citizens. states can help overcome those gaps, those skills gaps by bringing together education, training programs, certainly our private sector businesses, to help better prepare our young people for the workforce. so this weekend, we are going to be focusing on education and training for tomorrow's jobs, and we have the great pleasure this morning of startin

this is not some specially disadvantaged, poor, less skilled drupal. in fact, the educational attainment of long-term unemployment is slightly higher than it is for the employed. this is a group that for the most part, through the bad luck of the worst recession where we were losing over 700,000 jobs a month, at some point lost their job and have not been able to get back on their heat sense and now we are in a position where he have a self perpetuating cycle of audit studies. if you just send resumes that say the person has been unemployed for eight months, they are less likely to even get interviewed than somebody with the same exact resume that was unemployed for one month. now they are just caught up in a bad cycle. we are to work with companies and foundations to set best practices to get them out of that place. >> i hope so. there is no reason congress can do what it did twice last year and basically with out ran some or hostagetaking send the president a debt limit, an increase that he can sign so that we pay the bills. there is no reason they s

you talked about the skills act. tell our guests kind of what the contours of the skills act are? what could you work on with president obama there? >> well, in the house we passed something called the skills act. what you do, you have a lot of job training programs, a lot of duplication and others. how do you streamline that? how do you get individuals to get the training they need in a faster and working it through, eliminating duplication? these are things a lot within community and community colleges love and can be helpful for development. so we've passed more than 160 bills that linger in the senate. now, the challenge of what we do is -- and this is why i bring up making policy in the world of politics -- the house can pass a lot of legislation, but you have a senate that has the fear of maybe losing a majority. so you have a senate leader that doesn't want to put a lot of his members that can be vulnerable in tough races up on any votes. so you deny amendments and you deny bringing something up. that's difficult for the president if he wants to accomplish legislation as we

first, look at the skills the machines are not good at. we already touched on some. creativity, interpersonal relations, caring other humans. those are areas continue to be in demand. the second piece of advice is don't be too lockerred in to those. the nature much technology is constantly evolving and we have continued to be surprised as we have been describing about the advantages that -- advances are happening. it's unlikely any one career or skill set familiar with you'll be able to -- exactly you have to adjust. and the third piece of advice is do what you love and do something you are excited about. not just because it's more fulfilling to yourself but cold hearted economic about it. those three pieces of advice are the best kind of guidance a child or anybody going forward in the second machine age. >> like you said, it was probably not the most common question get asked. two pieces of advice. first, hit the damn books. one of the most research we came across is about this gradual slide in the amount of hard work going on at college campuses these days and con

primarily because coming to the united states, highly skilled immigrants have an employer to go to. that is the ultimate, if you will response to why immigrants succeed the united states. bridging in 10 nouz -- bringing in 10,000 people a year in detroit to do what? is it the hope that people will be entrepreneurs, there's a different visa, the entrepreneur visa, perhaps they can access that. >> i was going to say, i understand that a lot of immigrants talk about the united states being the dream and goal as opposed to germany and europe. explain why. >> the united states has a prohibitive advantage of all the people vying for the talent pool, the best. >> the reason they come to the united states is they have an opportunity to get the best returns on what they put into themselves in no other places can you get returns that are significant, massive and gik. >> immigrants at the high end go to places where other immigrants are of the same type and natives of the same time. there's an immigration effect creating greater opportunities for all involved. >> certainly it's interesting. we

family involvement during preschool is linked with stronger pre-literacy skills and math skills. social skills and a positive attitude. over the next five years we will connect families with a range of services and training opportunities to help them support their children's education. we will expand the home visiting program and build upon innovative community partnerships in places like east st. louis, north lawndale. once the initiative is fully implemented, mothers will be connected with prenatal care to ensure the healthy birth and development of their children. children and grandchildren in illinois will have access to quality early learning starting up or and parents will have the tools to lead their children toward success in school and college and careers and beyond. illinois can lead the nation in early childhood education. we already have the foundation in place and now is the time to get the job done for illinois liberalist.

gap where we do not have enough skilled people to fill skilled jobs? are flip sides of a coin, really. we're looking at a changing demography in the country. the country will be a majority minority in the year 2040. that means there will be a new workforce. the skills gap, companies when they are looking and needing to hire people are going to have to look to a labor force that looks different than it does now. really, it is impossible to tease them apart but they have to think about solutions holistically. >> all right. thank you so much for this conversation. it is certainly not over. i am happy you were a part of it today. as we head to break, this caught our eye today. google's homepage is famous for its doodles. and now they are sponsoring a doodle contest and asking them to draw a doodle about making the world a better place. the winner will see their artwork on google's homepage and a $30,000 college scholarship and a $50,000 google tech grant for their school. entries are due by march 20. up next, facebook turns 10 years old today. we look back

and for others it means bringing skilled workers in. it we'll tell you why some weak housing numbers shouldn't worry you too much. i'm ali velshi, and this is real money. >> this is real money. if you like facebook, facebook.com/aj real money. president obama meeting tonight with his counterparts with canada and mexico. on the agenda u.s. immigration reform. america's foreign borne population reached 40 million in 2011 or 13% of the total population. 11 of that 40 million are believed to be undocumented. more than half that number are thought to come to america o frm or through mexico. the debate is to give them formal status or to ship them back home. unfortunately, our focus, our obsession on mexico and the border detracts from a deeper discussion about the economics of immigration. putting aside much of america's agriculture industry relies on migrant workers without whom man argue the price of your food would go up. through high tech relies on immigrants of a different sort. highly skilled immigrants and foreign workers. 819,000 for

after adding 100 workers last year, president craig freedman wants to hire another 35 skilled workers this year if he can find them. >> there's been a bidding war for these workers. >> reporter: those workers include welders and people trained to operate computer-guided machines. freedman says smaller manufacturers along with richer chicago-based multinationals sometimes poach these employees. so the shortage of workers for these high-paying jobs which could fetch up to 12 to $25 an hour is squeezing freedman's bottom line. >> we have to use a lot of overtime to get the work done. we have to outsource a fair amount of work that we don't have the capacity to do because we don't have the skilled labor to do it. >> reporter: to find needed workers, freedman's tapping two sources, a local high school and a chicago-based nonprofit called the jane adams resource corporation. jerk as it's known trains displaced adults for industries offering living wages and upward mobility. >> we don't run it like a traditional school where people are sitting in classrooms working out of books. it's a job.
