There's another catch, and it's one that politicians don't like to talk
about: China has many more skilled engineers than the United States does.
Steve Jobs, Apple's late CEO, brought the issue up during an October 2010
meeting with President Obama. He called America's lackluster education
system an obstacle for Apple, which needed 30,000 industrial engineers to
support its on-site factory workers.
"You can't find that many in America to hire," Jobs told the president,
according to his biographer, Walter Isaacson. "If you could educate these
engineers, we could move more manufacturing plants here."
In a May interview with AllThingsD, Apple CEO Tim Cook said he agreed with
Jobs' assessment.
"There has to be a fundamental change in the education system to bring back
some of this [labor]," he said. |
