A note from the President about his education initiative. Interesting, but we still have a long way to go - I don't think we have everything we need to compete.
"Companies like Intel struggle to hire American workers with the skills to fill their needs."
To give you further perspective on that:
My research group is made up of 9 graduate students. Of those, three are American. One is an undergraduate, one is a masters student, and one is a doctoral student. My company employs roughly 16 engineers (majority having doctorates). Of those, 13 are Americans. My company needs a specific type of engineer to help us create new products, unable to find an American candidate we're interviewing people from China.
