I just don't know if those people who lost their jobs in manufacturing companies are qualified for call center skills. At a glance, call center agents require good command of English, which is something that most machine operators are not heavily trained for (I've worked in a manufacturing company before). Anyway, I think there are jobs for everyone, but I think there's a skill mismatch, so we still have this unemployment problem.

You'd think that they like older folks to work in the call centers because they have been consumers long enough to know what good customer service is. This is good news.
