Ford Can't Fill Jobs
from CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel · host tentwentytwo / Culture Partners
In today’s episode: Jessica and John discuss the Wall Street Journal article, The $160,000 Mechanic Job That Ford Can’t Fill The Ford jobs don't make $160k out of the gate--it takes a decade or more to reach that number, and the hourly skilled workforce is leaning toward jobs that have more immediate rewards. This isn't only a Ford story. Boeing is also having trouble filling their reliable machinist jobs, while lower-paying white-collar jobs are still flooded with applicants. It's the age-old question of trade school versus a college education. CEO Daily Brief is a daily, five-minute podcast for CEOs where we dissect the week's biggest news, unpack hot-button workplace trends, and bring you exclusive interviews with leaders who leverage culture to drive real business results. John Frehse, Global Head of Labor Strategies at Ankura, joins Jessica every week to discuss the latest news in labor, employment, and workplace culture by asking each other the question: 'What Are You Paying Attention To Now?'
