SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Reuters) - The head of the top U.S. phone company AT&T Inc (T.N) said on Wednesday it was having trouble finding enough skilled workers to fill all the 5,000 customer service jobs it promised to return to the United States from India.
"We're having trouble finding the numbers that we need with the skills that are required to do these jobs," AT&T Chief Executive Randall Stephenson told a business group in San Antonio, where the company's headquarters is located.
So far, only around 1,400 jobs have been returned to the United States of 5,000, a target it set in 2006, the company said, adding that it maintains the target.
Stephenson said he is especially distressed that in some U.S. communities and among certain groups, the high school dropout rate is as high as 50 percent.
"If I had a business that half the product we turned out was defective or you couldn't put into the marketplace, I would shut that business down," he said.

What's that? Businesses don't want to hire the self-centered illiterate morons that our schools are putting out? Who could have predicted this? Who could have seen this coming? If only we had a clairvoyant genius who could have warned us. Now we've gone and ruined at least two generations with our idiotic education policies.
Well -- at least all the kids have great self esteem ... right? That's right, "I can't read or do math but I'm special ... and I always got one of the trophies in whatever contest I entered."
