One of the main keys to job creation is a strong infrastructure. This infrastructure includes a capable and well trained work force obtained through a strong education system. In addition, as health care costs continue to rise, this infrastructure may soon start to include a publicly-funded health care system. A recent article from the CBC highlighted these points.
Education:
Ontario [Canada] workers are well-trained.
That simple explanation was cited as a main reason why Toyota turned its back on hundreds of millions of dollars in subsidies offered from several American states in favour of building a second Ontario plant.
Industry experts say Ontarians are easier and cheaper to train - helping make it more cost-efficient to train workers when the new Woodstock plant opens in 2008, 40 kilometres away from its skilled workforce in Cambridge.
"The level of the workforce in general is so high that the training program you need for people, even for people who have not worked in a Toyota plant before, is minimal compared to what you have to go through in the southeastern United States," said Gerry Fedchun, president of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association, whose members will see increased business with the new plant.
......
He [Fedchun] said Nissan and Honda have encountered difficulties getting new plants up to full production in recent years in Mississippi and Alabama due to an untrained - and often illiterate - workforce. In Alabama, trainers had to use "pictorials" to teach some illiterate workers how to use high-tech plant equipment.
"The educational level and the skill level of the people down there is so much lower than it is in Ontario," Fedchun said.
Healthcare:
In addition to lower training costs, Canadian workers are also $4 to $5 cheaper to employ partly thanks to the taxpayer-funded health-care system in Canada, said federal Industry Minister David Emmerson.
"Most people don't think of our health-care system as being a competitive advantage," he said.
What I am always shocked at is our belief that we have the best medical system in the World. In fact we are not even in the top 20. http://www.who.int/inf-pr-2000/en/pr2000-life.html It was not all that long ago that it was noted the USA had the shortest life expectancy out of all the industrialzed nations. Thus our present medical system seems fairly ineffefctive and unaffordable. Who are the idiots claiming it's the best?

The Government should never compromise for providing a better medical system for the public. So we should take necessary steps to make the medical setup a better one.
