Community colleges gear up to train manufacturing workers

Season 2025 Episode 2 | 6m 42s

In the next decade, millions of manufacturing jobs will open up in the U.S. as workers retire. Meanwhile, the sector is also supposed to add more jobs with help from federal subsidies. But by some current estimates, only half of those jobs will be filled. So where will the needed workers come from? Economics correspondent Paul Solman visited a two-year college in search of answers.
