America wasn't built from behind a desk, but now this country is suffering a skilled trade skills gap and nobody seems to be talking about it. Georgia is no exception--even as unemployment rose in recent years, there were still more skilled trade job openings than there were skilled workers qualified to take those jobs.

These tend to have shorter postsecondary training but can still have higher salaries and more job security than meets the eye.
