‘Those jobs of the past are just not going to come back’
Dec 1, 2016
In June, President Obama participated in a PBS townhall
and was asked about Trump's promise to keep Carrier's Indiana plant in
the U.S. The townhall participant -- Eric Cottonham, a member of the
Steelworkers Union employed by Carrier -- asked Obama if anything could
be done to stem the tide of jobs flowing out of the country, as Trump
had recently promised to do.
"I see here you’re doing a lot of things, but in Indianapolis, there’s nothing there for us," he asked. "I mean, what’s next? I mean, what can we look forward to in the future as far as jobs, employment, whatever? Because all of our jobs has left or in the process of leaving, sir.”
"Those jobs of the past are just not going to come back," Obama told Cottonham.
Instead, Obama advised workers losing their jobs to learn how to adapt their skills to "some of these new technologies," in particular, the "clean energy sector."
