This is a post-industrialized, knowledge economy. Employers no longer want to pay for months or years of training, especially since unions have been weakened, so you need to pay for the training yourself by going to a community/junior college, technical college, or 4-year college. A lot of the complaining that occurred during the 2016 elections came from people who think that we can return to the post WWII economy. If you're too lazy to get post-secondary training, then you're going to be left behind in the current job market. Honestly, if you're really that poor, then you qualify for grants. The Pell Grant is often more than enough to cover community college tuition.

 

I am a firm believer in education if one has the ability to learn. Interestingly there numerous jobs for the unskill - see jobs Americans do want to do.
