AI taking away jobs? But, Ford CEO says America is in trouble as 5,000 mechanic jobs at $120,000 go unfilled

Ford CEO Jim Farley highlights a critical shortage of skilled mechanics, with 5,000 high-paying jobs ($120K/year) unfilled. He attributes this to a lack of investment in trade education, warning it poses a national security risk.
