US Job Timeline

Jobs are appearing in the US in order of priority and demand. State and County based Community Colleges and Technical Training Centers have always worked directly with industries to provide needed training.

We have increased US oil and natural gas production and will continue to do so. We are in the process of planning and building pipelines to transport this gas and oil safely and at low cost. These pipelines are steel and monitored and controlled electronically. Construction crews will be hired to work at pipeline locations and Technicians will be needed to install and maintain electronic controls.

Truck drivers are needed in the meantime and truck-driving jobs are available throughout the US. Over-the road, 18 wheel, interstate tractor-trailer rigs are needed to address demand of everything. Rail Freight workers are needed to ship goods by railroad cars. All of the goods go to cities and harbors for import and export.

The demand for Software Developers will remain strong as we need to firewall our financial transactions and develop tighter cyber security for internet transactions.

Manufacturing Plants and Warehouses will need to be built as companies relocate operations back to the US.

Other jobs in all fields will continue to show demand as we shift jobs back to US citizens. Location is important and families may move.

Home building could slow down for quite some time.

Millennials will not be buying homes until they are able to afford them. They are paying off their excessive student loans and working at minimum wage jobs. This should depress residential construction for a while.

Home upgrading and maintenance jobs should continue to remain strong. Homes built in the 1970s will need to replace worn out parts, appliances, roofs, siding and mechanical systems.

Electric Power Utilities will need to upgrade their electric grids and add cyber security to their systems. Clean Coal fired and hydro generating plants will need to be upgraded.

The smaller cities in rural counties who lost their manufacturing plants after 1993 will need to re-acquire these plants to relocate back to their cities. This is the only thing that will restore the economies of rural America.

Manufacturing Plants in the US are economically viable if automated systems are employed to increase productivity and throughput. The US is an expensive country to operate in, but automation allows for higher paid technicians to keep plants operating with high quality and high production.

It is imperative to stop the immigration of low wage, low skilled migrant labor in order to restore the US economy. We need to deploy E-Verify to ensure that employees are US Citizens.

We do have industries that are in trouble. Healthcare, Education and Government costs are unsustainable and these industries need to be re-engineered to lower costs, improve outcomes and be returned to the free market so consumers can control the prices.

Major Medical Health Insurance needs to be restored for medically necessary treatment only and Big Pharma needs transparency and competition. Education can be reformed using the internet and homeschooling techniques. Government needs to cut its costs in half at all levels, privatize public transit and end grants, subsidies, “economic development” and corporate welfare.

US auto companies have squandered their future and allowed foreign cars to dominate US auto sales. GM and Ford need to focus on quality and value to design more affordable hybrid cars. Electric cars have limited range and self-driving cars are a joke.
