A Fulfilled Workforce Costs Less in the End –Michelson

Despite national unemployment rates that continue to hover above 9 percent—not even counting the long-term unemployed who have given up searching for jobs—many printers still lament how difficult it is to find, and keep, skilled workers.

the dearth of young, tech-savvy people entering our industry.
