Interesting forecast.
On the machinist/metalworking groups I am in, everybody is busy as can be, myself included, and having trouble finding enough qualified people to hire. Two steel mills locally are adding jobs continuously to keep up with demand. Apprenticeship programs are on the rise to get youngsters into the trades.
I'm not necessarily saying they are wrong, but what they are saying, and the current climate in manufacturing don't seem to line up.
