Requiring someone to know how to code CNC, mic out pieces and set up a lathe correctly before you'll give them $12 an hour seems like an absurdity.

I agree. I made more than that in '88. As a full Journeyman Machinist I never once found myself unable to find work.
*sigh*

The skills cited in the piece for the $12/hr position are:
"Show up on time, you know, read, write, do math, problem solve."

And their essentially being gifted a 2yr degree.
