Is manufacturing the answer to the joblessness that plagues parts of Chicago?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alexia Elejalde-Ruiz, Chicago Tribune
Chicago,  like other parts of the nation, is witness to two seemingly  contradictory
trends: persistently high unemployment in parts of its  low-income communities, 
and thousands of job openings that employers  struggle to fill.
Could manufacturing be a key to bridging the gap?
In  a new report, researchers from the Century Foundation and the  University of
 Illinois at Chicago's Great Cities Institute highlight the  opportunity for manufacturers
to address their talent needs by tapping  into black and Latino communities experiencing
high rates of  joblessness.

Andrew Stettner, The Century Foundation

Manufacturing  had more than 58,000 job postings in the Chicago region over the 
year  ending this March, more than all but three sectors, according to the  report.
The industry last year had twice as many job postings as hires,  suggesting a high
rate of unfilled openings, and about 16,000 unfilled  openings did not require more
than a high school degree.
Meanwhile,  the unemployment rate in Cook County was 15.5 percent among blacks in
 2016, compared with 7.3 percent for Hispanics and 4 percent for whites -  and joblessness
is much worse in some neighborhoods and among some  demographic groups. For example,
