We'd like the world to be better. How do we expect it to happen? Some of us pin our hopes on the government, charities, and volunteers. Here, let's suggest that we can demand more of businesses to make the world better.

Who is tackling the retraining of laid-off manufacturing workers?

Since this topic was raised on our site, I've looked for content on retraining manufacturing workers and haven't come up with anything. Most of the discourse on the loss of jobs overseas seems to involve free-trade policies. I can understand the desire to wage battle over such policy issues, but I think the manufacturing sector would be well served (even "better" served) by having some organization address the need for retraining the workforce. I'd appreciate it if anyone with any comment to share would do so, whether to offer some insight into the market for retraining workers or to pose an alternative solution. In the meantime, I'll keep reaching out.
