It's just welfare for industry.

There's no shortage of labor. They're just not paying enough or they should provide their own training.

I think there is a failure in our educational system. I work for a fortune 500, and we are hiring 2000 new college hires a year out of top 25 schools. We pay $80k+ to these graduates, and I am blown away on what they don't know how to do.

They are usually really good at presenting and working on teams, but being able to do basic office things like book travel, fill out expense reports, behave properly in meetings, use complete sentences/grammar in emails - they just can't do it.
