Job creation has been a key focus of the Trump administration which has blamed outsourcing to lower cost countries like Mexico and China for the stagnant wages of the middle-class working folks of America's Midwest.
The only problem with that theory is that certain industries in the U.S. are actually struggling with extreme labor shortages but can't fill positions either due to skill gaps or an entitled millennial workforce that would rather live in their parents basement for the rest of their life than take a "blue collar" job that doesn't value their BA in Anthropology.
According to a recent analysis from the American Trucking Association (ATA), the OTR Truckload industry is one area where employers are expected to face a huge labor shortage of as much as 175,000 by 2024.
