No, AI itself is not the answer.
“For the past decade, we’ve been teaching people how to code. We need to teach people how to use their hands over the next 10 years,” Navy Secretary John Phelan said in Detroit.

Its ship, shockwave, superconducting process integration managers and semiconductor equipment technicians will ensure that the United States beats China. Both ships and chips rely on touch labor – although in very complex factories and foundries.

Shipbuilding is the key to the future of the U.S. Navy. Document: Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) Close-range steam is one of 42 ships and submarines during the 2014 Pacific (RIMPAC) practice, representing 15 international partner countries. (iStock)
President Donald Trump understands it. “Every policy of the Trump administration is designed to eliminate American workers, promote high-paying, blue-collar jobs and rebuild the industrial bedrock of our nation,” he said.
Not that you’ll only see blue collars: engineers looking for black t-shirts, plaid cloth, white cleaning room “rabbit suits” and Polos. But the essentials are the same. This critical workforce is composed of men and women who have built technical expertise and thrived in getting the job done, whether it is using cranes or lithography machines.

This is an amazing question. Although both the vessels and chip sectors are thriving in emergency plans and new opportunities, the United States as a country has devalued the industry and is paying the price. this manufacturing Due to globalism, labor decline has been so dramatic for decades that the U.S. national security and economic advantages are at risk.
Only 3% of the U.S. population today works in manufacturing, compared to 9% during the Cold War. COVID-19 hit. Texas, Florida and Georgia have added enough manufacturing jobs to surge before pre-pandemic employment levels, but nearly half of the U.S. states still have lower manufacturing totals than in 2019.
Unless reversed, a decline in manufacturing labor could hurt U.S. positions.

Priority No. 1 is payment. Trump said blue-collar workers’ wages have risen the fastest in 60 years. Nuclear submarine welders must pay much higher wages than fast food and delivery trucks. Not only the entry-level Work. Shipyards must retain experienced boathouses, prepare to step up promotions and provide talent pools for hundreds of major suppliers. The broader plan is “the state as a shipyard” and combines investment and mining new labor pools to abound in the labor force.
Chips
this US share of global semiconductor manufacturing From 40% in 1990 to 12% in 2020. Semiconductor jobs are expected to grow by 33% by 2030, with the gap between job openings and qualified candidates leaving 146,000 positions. Advanced composite chips used in commercial semiconductors and defense electronics are looking for more workers.
This is an amazing question. Although both the vessels and chip sectors are thriving in emergency plans and new opportunities, the United States as a country has devalued the industry and is paying the price.
These are not your daily, mass-produced silicon chips; consider multi-layer chip powered information systems for satellites, F-16 fighters, radars, Apache helicopters and more. Many people are smaller than a grain of sand. If it can be hired, a senior Maryland production in Maryland will reach four times by 2030.

The good news is manufacturing According to the St. Louis Fed, a revival is beginning. Investment in new facilities has doubled since 2022. Private capital targeting shipyards’ recent modernization can bring efficiency and sustained profits. A large bill expands access to Pell grants to cover on-the-job training programs. Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-Deremer sees job creators throughout the United States as “back to the center of our economic agenda” from aerospace composite manufacturers in Utah to microelectronics factories in Idaho.
Trump likes to shout “Incredibly hardworking men and women in our country.” Don’t forget that they are on the front line of the game in China. America’s prosperity and security – depends on American workers.
