Why are so many employers unable to fill jobs?

by Stephen Moore The Daily Signal The great conundrum of the U.S. economy today is that we have record numbers of working age people out of the labor force at the same time we have businesses desperately trying to find workers.

As an example, the American Transportation Research Institute estimates there are 30,000-35,000 trucker jobs that could be filled tomorrow if workers would take these jobs- a shortage that could rise to 240,000 by 2022.

While the jobs market overall remains weak, demand is high in certain sectors.

For skilled and reliable mechanics, welders, engineers, electricians, plumbers, computer technicians, and nurses, jobs are plentiful; one can often find a job in 48 hours.

As Bob Funk, the president of Express Services, which matches almost half a million temporary workers with employers each year, said, “If you have a useful skill, we can find you a job. But too many are graduating from high school and college without any skills at all.”

The lesson, to play off of the famous Waylon Jennings song: Momma don’t let your babies grow up to be philosophy majors.

Three years ago the chronic disease of the economy was a shortage of jobs. This shortage persists in many sectors.

But two other shortages are now being felt—the shortage of trained employees and of lowskilled employees willing to work.

Patrick Doyle, the president of Domino’s Pizza, says that the franchises around the country are having a hard time filling delivery and clerical positions. “It’s a very tight labor market out there now.”

This shortage has an upside for workers because it allows them to bid up wages. When Wal-Mart announced last month that wages for many starter workers would rise to $9 an hour, well above the federal legal minimum, they weren’t being humanitarians. They were responding to a tightening labor market.

The idea that bluecollar jobs aren’t a pathway to the middle class and higher is antiquated and wrong. Factory work today is often highly sophisticated and knowledge-based with workers using intricate

scientific equipment.

After several years honing their skills, welders, mechanics, carpenters, and technicians can, earn upwards of $50,000 a year—which in most years still places a household with two such income earners in the top 25 percent for income. It’s true these aren’t glitzy or cushy jobs, but they do pay a good salary.

So why aren’t workers filling these available jobs — or getting the skills necessary to fill them. I would posit these impediments to putting more Americans back to work:

1) Government discourages work.

Welfare consists of dozens of different and overlapping federal and state income support programs. A recent Census Bureau study found more than 100 million Americans collecting a government check or benefit each month.

The spike in families on food stamps, SSI, disability, public housing, and early Social Security remains very high even five years into this recovery. This should come as no surprise given the vast majority of the federal government’s roughly 80 means-tested welfare programs don’t include any type of work requirement.

Economist Peter Ferrara argues in his new book, “Power to the People,” that if “we simply required work for all able-bodied welfare re-

cipients, the number on public assistance would fall dramatically. This is what happened after the work for welfare requirements in 1996.”

2) Our public school systems often fail to teach kids basic skills.

Whatever happened to shop classes? We have schools that now concentrate more on ethnic studies and tolerance training than teaching kids how to use a lathe or a graphic design tool.

Charter schools can help remedy this. Universities are even more negligent. Kids graduate from four-year colleges with little vocation training and with debt averaging more than $25,000—although this number now commonly exceeds $100,000 at some universities.

A liberal arts education is valuable, but it should come paired with some practical skills.

3) Negative attitudes toward blue-collar work.

I’ve talked to parents who say they are disappointed if their kids want to become a craftsman—instead of going to college. This attitude discourages kids from learning how to make things, which contributes to sector-specific worker shortages.

Meanwhile, too many people who want to go into the talking professions: lawyers, media, clergy, professors, and so on.

Obamacare’s $800 billion tax the hike explained in one chart

Weekly Citizen

by Alex Rendon The Daily Signal / Commentary April 15 is right around the corner, and millions of Americans will find themselves paying more in taxes than ever thanks to Obamacare.

The law is more than a fundamental change to the country’s healthcare system.

It also is a massive tax hike. As The Heritage Foundation’s Federal Budget in Pictures shows, according to the most recent scores, Obamacare will increase taxes by nearly $800 billion for the period of 2013-2022.

Obamacare contains 18 separate tax increases. A few of the biggest include a tax on “Cadillac” health insurance plans, which doesn’t take effect until 2018, long after President Obama and many in Congress who voted for the tax in 2010 have departed Washington. Also, there is a tax on health insurance premiums and a higher rate on the Hospital Insurance payroll tax for single filers with incomes above $200,000 ($250,000 for married filers) that also applies to investment income.

At a time when the already-onerous tax code has created a significant drag on the economy, Obamacare’s tax hikes only do more damage. Many Americans have found themselves afflicted by higher health insurance premiums, driven up, in part, by new taxes on insurers. Increased rates on capital gains and dividends from the wage and investment tax hike discourage saving and investment, resulting in fewer jobs created and lower wage growth.

Because of Obamacare, Americans are paying much higher taxes and those taxes are hurting the economy. Though some bipartisan efforts exist to repeal some of the new taxes that benefit special-interest groups, including the medical device tax, an incomplete approach won’t be sufficient to overcome the detrimental effects of this law.

Congress should repeal Obamacare and all of its tax increases.

To learn more about federal spending, the national debt, and taxes, visit the 2015 Federal Budget in Pictures.

Ask Doctor K by Anthony L. Komaroff, M.D.

Effective treatments have made malaria rare in the U.S. Dear Doctor K: I am traveling abroad in a few weeks. My travel clinic has prescribed antimalarial medication. Can you tell me more about malaria and how to prevent it?

Dear Reader: Malaria is a serious disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite.

The parasite is not found today in the United States or Canada, but it is common in areas to which North Americans travel: Africa, Asia, and Central and South America. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that there are over 200 million new cases of malaria each year around the world.

The good news is that there are only 1,000-2,000 cases of malaria each year reported in the U.S. That’s because most people traveling to parts of the world with malaria take antimalarial medications.

You contract malaria when you are being bitten by an infected mosquito.

Once the parasite enters your body, it infects and multiplies inside your liver and red blood cells. Symptoms of malaria include: — High fever (up to 105 degrees Fahrenheit) with shaking chills, — Profuse sweating, — Fatigue, — Headache, — Muscle aches, — Abdominal discomfort, — Nausea, vomiting, — Feeling faint when standing up or sitting up quickly.

Without treatment, malaria sometimes can be fatal.

Anyone traveling to a region of the world that has malaria should take preventive medication. You start taking these medications before your trip starts and continue taking them for several days to weeks after you return.

There are four antimalarial medications most commonly prescribed in the U.S. for foreign travel: — CHLOROQUINE (Aralen) is the most commonly prescribed drug for travelers headed to countries where there are no drug-resistant strains of malaria.

— MEFLOQUINE (Lariam) is the treatment of choice for travel to areas with high levels of chloroquine-resistant malaria parasites.

— DOXYCYCLINE (Vibramycin) is usually prescribed for travelers who can’t take chloroquine or mefloquine.

— ATOVAQUONE AND PROGUANIL (Malarone). This combination drug is prescribed to prevent chloroquine-resistant malaria when you are traveling in areas where there is a higher rate of that kind of malaria.

In addition to one of these drugs, you also may need to take a medication called primaquine when you return home. This extra precaution further reduces the risk that you will develop malaria, even if you were taking an antimalarial drug during your trip.

To further reduce your risk, do your best to prevent mosquito bites. The following steps can help: — When possible, stay indoors in wellscreened areas, especially at night when mosquitoes are most active.

— Use mosquito nets and bed nets.

Treat the nets with the insect repellent permethrin.

— Wear clothes that cover most of your body.

— Use an insect repellent that contains DEET or picaridin. Apply directly to your skin.

— Apply permethrin to clothing.

If you do develop malaria, fortunately, effective treatments are available.

Resist the urge to tell others what to do. There is a difference between making positive suggestions and being critical.

Work on your own goals and, first and foremost, be mindful of the requirements expected of you. An effort to avoid excess will improve your life and financial future.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You may be in a bit of a quandary regarding important partnerships.

Think of the repercussions before saying something that you could live to regret. Clear the air without placing blame or criticizing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Putting extra effort into your job will gain you recognition from the powers that be. If you are humble about your achievements, your coworkers will be less likely to react with jealousy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Make an effort to prove your loyalty and admiration to a cause or person.

Plan a trip or make arrangements to attend an event or activity that encourages togetherness.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Unexpected visitors will upset your schedule. Be courteous, but don’t allow anyone to take advantage of your good nature. Put your responsibilities and needs first.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — The trust that others have in you will be lost if you participate in gossip.

Now is the time to keep your innermost feelings private. A co-worker will try to damage your reputation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) — Make your career your No. 1 priority. Keep on top of developments in your field. Revamp your resume to highlight your strengths. Apply for lucrative positions.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — You can master whatever you put your mind to. Your actions and ideas will be noticed and will help you garner support. Speak up about your plans, and promote your objectives.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Don’t believe everything you hear, and don’t judge a new acquaintance without getting to know him or her first. Basing your opinions on hearsay will make you look bad.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Remain focused, and push your projects through to completion. You have a number of people on your side, but that doesn’t mean your workload will be lessened.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) — Don’t allow professional issues to interfere with your personal life. You won’t be able to loosen up around your friends if you are complaining about what your co-workers are up to.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) — You can learn a lot by observing others and listening to them.

Look for people who are in a position to help get you ahead, and discuss your intentions and plans with them.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Your generous nature will lead to difficulties if you are too trusting.

Don’t make donations or loans to groups or people until you are sure of their integrity.

Picking the contract may be tough

George Eliot said, “A toddling little girl is a center of common feeling, which makes the most dissimilar people understand each other.”

This week’s deals have an unusual feature in common. You will do very well to see it because they look dissimilar, but all will be understood — revealed — on Saturday. Keep the columns to compare.

First, South is in four spades. How should he plan the play after West leads the spade queen?

These days, South’s one-spade rebid shows a four-card suit and is forcing for one round.

(Instead, a jump to two spades would be the artificial fourth-suit game-

forcing. Then South would typically be trying to get into three notrump but would need his partner to have a spade stopper.) North is just worth his fourspade raise, but if he bids only three spades, South would venture higher, perhaps offering three no-trump en route.

When the opponents bid all four suits and land in the fourth, lead a trump; hence West’s choice of the spade queen.

It may look tempting to ruff dummy’s three low clubs in the South hand. But if declarer does that, he goes down with best defense. (The curious may try it.)

It is better to take the first trick with dummy’s king, cash the spade ace, and play a diamond. If South is allowed to win that trick, he leads another diamond and discards a club from dummy. Even if West has the diamond ace and draws trumps, declarer will have 10 tricks: two spades, three hearts, four diamonds and one club.

What would the Founders think about religious liberty and Indiana?

by Ryan T. Anderson The Daily Signal / Commentary As the loud opposition to Indiana’s religious freedom law subsides, plenty of confusion needs to be cleared up. We need to explain to our friends what religious liberty is, why it matters, and what the consequences are of undermining it or, as is the case with the “fix” enacted in Indiana, restricting its protections.

Now is a good time to take a step back. As Americans approach Passover and Easter, it’s worth remembering why religious liberty matters in the first place. For that, we can turn to our Founding Fathers. After all, they were the ones who established a political society unlike any other in all of human history—meant to not merely “tolerate” the religious practice of minorities, but to protect the natural right of all Americans to liberty of conscience and the free exercise of religion.

George Washington, in his Letter to the Hebrew Congregation of Newport, R.I., perhaps said it best: The citizens of the United States of America have a right to applaud themselves for having given to mankind examples of an enlarged and liberal policy—a policy worthy of imitation. All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship.

It is now no more that toleration is spoken of as if it were the indul-

gence of one class of people that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights, for, happily, the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens in giving it on all occasions their effectual support.

One of the hallmarks of conscience and religious liberty protections is that they protect people of all faiths, even if their beliefs seem unfounded, flawed, implausible or downright silly.

Recognition of a right to religious freedom does not, however, depend on religious skepticism or relativism. Rather, it rests on the intelligible value of the religious quest—the activities of seeking to understand the truth about ultimate questions and then conforming one’s life accordingly, with authenticity and integrity.

People have rights—including the right to pursue religious truth and, within the limits of justice and the common good, to act on their judgments of what truth demands.

That’s what Religious Freedom Restoration Acts do. They prohibit the government from placing substantial burdens on religious exercise unless the government can show a compelling interest in burdening religious liberty and do so through the least restrictive means.

All people possess these funda-

mental rights, even when they are, in some respects, in error. Kevin Seamus Hasson, the founder of the Becket Fund, captured this in the title of his book “The Right to Be Wrong.” Hasson rightly argues that religious liberty is for A to Z, Anglicans to Zoroastrians.

This basic view of religious liberty has found a place in our civil law. James Madison’s “Memorial and Remonstrance” puts the point well: “The Religion then of every man must be left to the conviction and conscience of every man; and it is the right of every man to exercise it as these may dictate. This right is in its nature an unalienable right.”

Madison argued that it is an “arrogant pretension” to believe that “the Civil Magistrate is a competent Judge of Religious Truth.”

The right to religious liberty has its primary force precisely because of a prior duty to pursue the good of religion by seeking out the truth about God and the cosmos. As Madison explained: What is here a right towards men, is a duty towards the Creator. It is the duty of every man to render to the Creator such homage and such only as he believes to be acceptable to him. This duty is precedent, both in order of time and in degree of obligation, to the claims of Civil Society.

The government protects the space for citizens to fulfill this duty

according to their own best judgments. Stanford law professor Michael McConnell makes just this point in an essay for the Yale Law Journal: In the liberal tradition, the government’s role is not to make theological judgments but to protect the right of the people to pursue their own understanding of the truth, within the limits of the common good. That is the difference between “the full and free exercise of religion” (Madison’s formulation) and mere “toleration.” Toleration presupposes a “dominant group” with a particular opinion about religion (that it is “false,” or at least “unwarranted”), who decide not to “eradicate” beliefs they regard as “wrong, mistaken, or undesirable.”

The Founders got it right. Religious liberty isn’t about mere “toleration” from a dominant group that graciously opts not to coerce others. No, it’s a natural right, which all must respect within the context of justice and the common good—compelling state interests pursued in least restrictive ways.

Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act would protect just that.

Iranian nuclear talks miss another deadline.

What’s next for the talks with the Obama Administration.

by James Phillips The Daily Signal / Commentary The nuclear talks with Iran have missed another self-imposed deadline, for the third time in 18 months. The deadline to reach a framework agreement that would outline the final deal was 6 p.m.

EST, or midnight in Lausanne, Switzerland, where the talks are being held.

U.S. government officials earlier noted that the deadline was unlikely to be met, but White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said that the talks would continue another day “as long as the conversations continue to be productive.”

Diplomats said that this round of talks has been dominated by three issues: How quickly U.N. sanctions would be lifted, whether those sanctions would automatically be reinstated if Iran violates the deal and how freely Iran will be able to advance its nuclear technology in the last five years of the proposed 15-year agreement.

Now the administration is downgrading the importance of the March 30 deadline for a framework agreement and is settling for some sort of statement of an “understanding.” This essentially would be a punt to keep the talks going until the “final” June 30 deadline.

The emerging details of the proposed agreement indicate that the Obama administration has abandoned efforts to permanently halt Iran’s nuclear weapons program, but will settle for a cosmetic solution that will only slow the pace of Iran’s nuclear march temporarily.

The administration has accepted Iran’s self-proclaimed “right” to enrich uranium despite six U.N. Security Council Resolutions that called for a halt in its enrichment efforts.

Iran is not required to dismantle its nuclear infrastructure. Particularly worrisome are the contin-

ued operations of its illicit uranium enrichment facilities at Fordow and Natanz, as well as the heavy water reactor at Arak that has been described as a plutonium bomb factory. All of these facilities, which were built covertly by Iran in violation of its Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty commitments, would now be legitimized by the agreement.

The International Atomic Energy Agency will be responsible for verifying Iranian compliance, despite the fact that Iran has consistently stonewalled the agency’s efforts to investigate possible military dimensions of its nuclear program, as it repeatedly promised it would, including in the 2013 interim agreement.

U.S. allies, including Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, have expressed alarm at the prospects for a deal that only slows but does not halt Iran’s progress toward a nuclear weapon.

They also are concerned that the Obama administration has focused narrowly on Iran’s nuclear challenge while turning a blind eye to its ballistic missile buildup, support for terrorism and efforts to gain regional hegemony.

They worry that the Iran nuclear negotiations will accelerate the U.S. withdrawal from the region, or worse yet, yield an Iranian-American rapprochement at their expense.

The Obama administration’s passivity prompted Saudi Arabia to lead a ten nation coalition to intervene in Yemen on behalf of the Yemeni government, which was overthrown by Houthi rebels allied with Iran.

But the administration’s eye is on a different prize. One administration official proclaimed: “The truth is, you can dwell on Yemen, or you can recognize that we’re one agreement away from a game-changing, legacy-

setting nuclear accord on Iran that tackles what everyone agrees is the biggest threat to the region.”

That official may want to touch base with increasingly alarmed U.S. allies, who have concluded that the Obama administration’s desperate push for a questionable agreement with Iran has become the biggest threat in the region.

Sudoku Answer Solution to puzzle from previous edition.

4) A cultural bias against young adults working.

The labor force participation rate is falling fastest among workers under 30.

Any time a state tries to change laws to make it easier for teenagers to earn money, the left throws a tantrum about repealing child labor laws. The move to raise minimum wages in states and at the federal level could hardly be more destructive to young people.

My own research finds that the higher the minimum wage in a state, the lower the labor force participation rate among teenagers.

Anecdotally, I’ve always been struck by how many successful people I have met who grew up on farms and started working—milking cows, building fences, cleaning out the barn—at the age of 10 or 11. They learn a work ethic at a young age and this pays big dividends in the future.

Many studies document this to be true.

5) Higher education has become an excuse to delay entry into the workforce.

I always cringe when I talk to 22-year-olds who will graduate from college and who tell me their next step is to go to graduate school. Maybe by the time they are 26 or 27 they will start working. Here’s an idea: colleges could encourage kids to have one or two years of work experience before they enroll.

Here’s an even better idea: abolish federal student loans and replace the free government dollars with privately sponsored college work programs.

For instance, schools like College of the Ozarks require kids to work 15 hours a week to pay their tuition. It’s hardly a violation of human rights if a 21-year-old works to fund for their own education—and they will probably get more out of their classes if they do work.

Anything easily attained is lightly valued.

This would drive down tuition costs too, because students would start demanding more financial accountability and less waste. After all, federal subsidies have increased college costs.

These may seem like old-fashioned and even outmoded ideas. But the decline in work among the young bodes ill for the future. Many European nations have removed the young from the workforce and the repercussion appears to be lower lifetime earnings.

A renewed focus on working would also help erode the entitlement mentality ingrained in so many millennials. Instead of more benefits and handouts, this generation needs to get a job.

A version of this was originally published in Forbes.
