We have a lot of employers who are looking for skilled workers and not being able to find them. And we have workers who lack the requisite skills to access these good-paying jobs in high growth industries.

Too many employers have said that they are unable to find skilled workers.

Even though there is rampant unemployment in many parts of the world, there are still large numbers of jobs that are going unfilled because employers are having a hard time identifying people with the right set of skills.

A well-trained workforce is critical to small-business success. What I hear from business is that it's hard to find help that meets their needs.

You can become really pigeon-holed in this industry.

There are a lot of people in this business that don't work consistently.

We know businesses can't compete without reliable infrastructure.

When you have a large amount of the workforce being laid off, some of them have no other choice but to go out there and invent something.

We know there are a lot of people in the unemployment pool that do not match up in their skill set for what jobs are going to be created, and that's an area we've got to keep pressing on.

I find aspects of the industry tedious and hard to manage.
