This is a tough, unstable job market for lower income groups. If the Trump Job Creation Agenda succeeds, the US will see increases in Factory and Pipeline Construction.  As Factories are built, manufacturing jobs will appear. As Illegals are deported, more jobs will become available to US Citizens.

In the 1980s, Community Colleges offered 1 year of Certification Courses for Electronics Assembly. Circuit Boards were stuffed by machines, soldered by hand, Wave Soldered and Tested by machines. 2 year certified Electronics Technicians would repair Circuit Boards that had failed. US Trade Schools will step up again to provide training.
