FORT WAYNE, Ind. (NETWORK INDIANA) — A study by the Don Wood and Questa Education Foundations found northeast Indiana is facing a serious talent shortage for high-demand, high-wage jobs.
The study, which began in 2022, identified regional talent needs, financial barriers to education, and nonfinancial barriers to success.
In five years, employers in the area could face a shortage of 6,500 to 8,000 workers needing a bachelor’s degree.

How is this the city’s fault? Schools, companies, and individuals are at fault for accepting substandard education and excepting lifestyles that do not prepare individual workers for the job opportunities. I’m sick and tired of taxpayers being expected to tote the freight for others. Usually these studies are used to raise taxes to pay the teachers union members and their masters at the Union HQ for even less education for more money. The ultimate responsibility rests with THE PEOPLE in our Republic. Stop demanding the government to do your job. EVERYTHING any level of government touches usually turns into very expensive garbage.
