Tea Leaf: Can't Wait for Part Two
Tuesday's edition of Tea Leaf struck a chord, as Jeff Thredgold's weekly piece often does. This one was titled Renaissance Manufacturing (Part One).
Jeff managed to sum up the many ways that manufacturing in the U.S. is turning coventional wisdom on its ear. He makes a great point: "One of the challenges in coming years will be the need to change peoples’ perceptions of manufacturing employment." Licking County's STEM program at The Works is one part of our local answer.
He left me anxious for Part Two next Tuesday. I'm sure its another must-read.
