What Is the Skills Gap? Robert Kaplan April 12, 2017 It's in the 11th District. In my district, we do surveys of business leaders, and they tell us regularly that they have more openings for skilled workers than there is supply. What are examples? Pipefitters, automotive technicians? Um, construction trades, registered nurses. There's a long list.
