why not retrain unemployed people, Instead of unemployment pay give a course in what ever industry that need people, The cost of this can then be off set by the tax they pay when they re back in work

    TRA and TAA are programs that attempt to do this for workers who lose their jobs due to foreign trade.

    I own a business and when I need someone that doesn't have the skills, I decide if I want to train them. I can even offer to help pay for schooling if that is needed but it is a choice.

    I would argue that getting the government to tax everyone to pay for schooling is just another layer of crony capitalism. Some benefit at the expense of others. :)

    I was thinking that may be some of the industries that need people would also want to contribute as they get the worker they need

    Why involve government in it at all?

    In reality government is already doing both.
