The discussion continues, as Byron Pitts conducts interviews with employers Click Bond and Alcoa, as well as Peter Cappelli, a professor of management at Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. Cappelli continues to assert that companies are going to have to train employees, and not at the taxpayer’s expense, a pill that’s financially difficult for employers to swallow.
