'When asked about whether they agree that there is a shortage of skilled workers in the U.S., 60% of Baby Boomers and 63% of Generation X agreed that there is a shortage, compared to just 51% of Millennials. Not only are Millennials less convinced with the notion that manufacturing is important to the U.S. economy than other generations, but they are also less aware of the skills gap and the number of readily available jobs.'
