RUSH EXCERPT:
BOUCHARD: "Not everybody’s meant to get a four year college skilled trades can provide so much to this country and for people I know electricians who are making six figures hours in the first year in the job. I know plumbers, who have their complaints. I note software engineers who graduated can’t find a job because they’ve been put out by I skilled trades or a I proof, but there’s ah. So reason, when you talk to so many manufacturers in this district that they’re relying on h one b visas, I think we have the best skilled trade workers in the country in this district. I don’t think we have enough. I think we need to grow the trades, so we can hire American jobs and do that here. I mean that’s. What puts us at the forefront and that’s what makes our country economically viable in the long-term is when we start having those skilled trades here again I’ll say it again: they are a. I proof that is one the few jobs that I can look at. You and say you’ll be making six figures. If you go into this within five years, you’ll still have a job, there’s not a lot of other professions that you can do that"
