  1. Industries claim to be desperate for workers, yet reuse to offer them benefits, 401k, or livable minimum wage.

  2. People are tired of working long hard jobs for little pay.

  3. Cool mike,you got new job, put people where they will fit/work,YOUR IN CHARGE OF WORK FORCES, thanks FOR VOLUNTEERING ..I OWE YOU ,,IAMIAM-IAMKINGJOHN3RDMFKZT

  4. Heres the catch. Pay trades like lawyers. They deserve it at the top end, no jokes. Lawyers don't guarantee civil infrastructure. Trades do.

  5. Oh fast food restaurants Walmart's big chain stores like that that is called slave labor the only difference today is they don't see color if you can't pursue your American Dream at that it's not called a job

  6. Mike Rowe is a living American Hero! He deserves the Medal of Freedom.

  7. The crypto market is facing a key moment right now, in a very short time it's going to see a breakout to new record highs. This is a critical moment that every Investor needs to be aware of buying more with the current market trends, investing in bitcoin now would be a very smart move to make as it's going to sky rock soon..

  8. Mike Rowe needs to get a real job. He is like the perpetual noob on the job. Time to settle down and help us on the ground.

  9. Why weren't they begging for workers 45 years ago? Too late for me.

  10. as a worker in an essential and desperately needing to hire people situation I can say with a straight face a lot of these companies are ran through the government and therefor the hiring process is not only long but complicated and exhausting then you get the job and big daddy government takes half your paycheck to pay the "small fee" for your benefits. But then this is the worst you can be in the job for years and the supervisors dog you out and treat you like dirt take your money and disrespect you. It's all an abomination these people's way of doing things and makes no sense because they dog you then complain they can't hire!!!!!

  11. Thanks Mike for standing up for guys like me. I love what I do but it definitely takes a toll on me and my family. Keep standing tall for the dirty job American workers!!!!!

  12. Well, there's several hundred thousand (illegal) border crossers needing work for below min wages.

  13. I wish I were a young man instead of 60 years old who's had 4 heart attacks 3 in last four years along with triple bypass 11 years ago . Now unemployed no one want my help and SSDI WANT HELP . Worked hard jobs all my life from farm to logging to contractor

  14. Plain & Simple…. Blue collars jobs needs to be 100k hourly plus OT. It's the difficult job now. Sitting in an office is a crowded profession. PAY UP.

  15. Pay me, give me the pension we earn.

  16. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR, IF THEY ARE DESPERATE FOR WORKERS IT'S BECAUSE PAY IS B.S. FOR THE JOB CONDITIONS REQUIRED.

  17. These jobs suck, the conditions suck the pay sucks and the owners think you suck

  18. The reason why people can't get Hired THEY can't pass a drug test

  19. Why does everyone continue to perpetuate the fraud!!? Not pandemic but Scamdemic

  20. One of the biggest problems todays workforce has is lazy, arrogant management.

  21. Cause it doesn’t pay !

  22. If only our government would help the small businesses who train "apprentices"……..no current incentives…not a penny.

  23. When manufacturers and industry comes back to America from china . It will be brand new state of the art and a marvel to behold.

  24. I am positive a trade is badly needed everyday everywhere. I just hired a brand-new plumber who was great but is new and was very reasonable for my small job. He was awesome and believe me, we have been hiring through a public site in the neighborhood and these people work and I am grateful!

  25. Mr. Rowe you are the only voice out there for Joe and Jane Blow, the people who don't work from home, work in an office cubicle or are professional students. Thank you for being a voice for us.

  26. So, what would you think, Mike, if you knew that one of the companies you recently featured on your show just laid off a hard-working 65 year old woman (that loved her job) with 7 years at the company, and kept the woman 20 years younger with only 1 and 1/2 years with the company? Just curious. BTW.. that 65 year old woman thinks you are one amazing "real" man…not many like you, Mike!!! God Bless you so very richly!

  27. Mike , you are better than Fox.

  28. Sir,
    Much applause and thanks for your relentless efforts to keep the multitude of industries and their work force informed and supported.

    Now on th my point;
    There are thousands upon thousands of people who making sustained efforts to gain employment that are of age meaning over 50 , they have vast amounts of experience skills, judgement and patience, yet when they alloy for a job there are advised " We do Not believe that you will get along with the younger employees…".

    As we know there are laws that prohibit the above mentioned rebuff, and the HR managers when reminded of this fact response is "Do what you think you need to we will be here…!

    It is time for an employer/industries to welcome Denied Workers back to work!

    Regards,
    Gerald Klein

  29. Now why, Mike, would they be desperate to hire? What about them keeps applicants away?

  30. It appears obvious to me, that every single aspect of American Life MUST BE RADICALLY REEVALUATED.
    WHY? The way we are living is not sustainable. That means, if we keep living the way we are we will all die..because you won't be able to drink the water or eat the food. As basic as that. Pick any part of American Living, and dig deep into the truth behind it, and you will uncover oppression, corruption, and environmental filth.

  31. How can there be a shortage when 2 million migrants have entered the US this year?

  32. I don't know, Id say anythings more glamorous than sitting in a cubicle

  33. Well if they get rid of HR and dont use ESG ill consider them.

  34. THIS IS THE RESULTS OF THE GOVERNMENT NEGLECTING TO ADDRESS THE MATTER OF ALLOWING BIG BUSINESSES AND BIG CORPORATIONS AND BIG TECH AND OTHERS TO OUTSOURCE THEIR BUSINESS TO OTHER NATIONS FOR CHEAPER LABOR AND LOWER TAXES !!!
    AND THEN ALLOWED THESE SAME BIG BUSINESSES TO SHIP THEIR PRODUCTS BACK TO AMERICA AND SELL THEM TO AMERICAN CONSUMERS FOR MAXIMUM PROFITS !!!
    RATHER THAN OFFERING THEM INCENTIVES TO REMAIN IN AMERICA AND USE AMERICAN LABOR TO MANUFACTURE THEIR PRODUCTS HERE IN AMERICA !!!
    WHICH WOULD HAVE BOOSTED THE AMERICAN ECONOMY AND THE AMERICAN EMPLOYMENT INDUSTRY AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE !!!
    WHEN A NATION GIVES UP IT'S ABILITY TO REMAIN SELF-SUFFICIENT IT THEN BECOMES DEPENDENT ON OTHER NATIONS TO PROVIDE THEIR NEEDS !!!
    AND HAS WILLINGLY WEAKENED IT'S SELF !!!
    WE MUST MAKE AMERICA SELF-SUFFICIENT AGAIN !!!

  35. I'm sorry he speaks my language; before i hit the jack daniels

  36. I am a Mike Rowe Fan! I speak my language, and I feel excited to hear him speak on behalf of the industry's perspective. Actually, he made me feel hopeful for the industrial future in America.

  37. WE MUST MAKE AMERICA SELF-SUFFICIENT AGAIN !!!

  38. Here in MD there are people begging on roadsides.
    In the businesses I see help wanted signs everywhere, I don't get what's going on

  39. Everyone needs to see this America at work pay taxes and the government has money to take care of US not what’s happening it’s government paying freeloaders not paying taxes

  40. Worked in the trades for a little over 20 years. I'm a very huge supporter of the trades and other vocational schools.

  41. gender identity degrees does not make things run or maintain them, it takes real work.

  42. He should run for higher office.

  43. Education system has failed America. They've insulated them from anything pragmatic, downplayed and disparaged the trades and pushed students towards college, and not so much law, medicine, engineering or Science… more stupid newfangled Humanities degrees that are totally useless from a vocational perspectives and really just indoctrination and advocacy masquerading as scholarship.

  44. Biden Inflation destroyed any pay raises that the trump presidency was able to implement

  45. If these industries are so essential, maybe the hourly wage they pay could be increased? Maybe there could be more job security discussed? We don't need unions anymore, thats for people already at work. We need new standards for work compensation thats actually going to attract new workers. The only people this concerns are the CEOs and government representatives in control. Trying to glamorize a dangerous and health risk job, won't cut it anymore. It just makes for good entertainment.

  46. I would love to see Mike covering poultry farmers. From the bankers and appraisers to the Realtors and the growers themselves and what they labor under. Fieldmen, integrators, etc. and even the plant workers and what they labor under.

  47. Mike Rowe 2024!! I wish!! We need to get him on Joe Rogan too. Long overdo!!
