Labor Department awards millions of dollars in college grants for scarce ‘green jobs’

The Department of Labor has issued several million dollars in grants to community colleges and specialized universities around the country to train students for “green jobs” in renewable energy fields. While the grants are supposed to fund the future “rank and file” workers of the renewable energy industry, there’s a glaring problem the DOL seemingly overlooked — those jobs are either non-existent or scarce.

How ridiculous. If there was any real demand for these workers, their training would be happening where it should happen, which is on-the-job.

This is just Government finding another way to burn taxpayer money.
