My feel-good patriotic solution is this: Make trade schools free and promote the hell out of them. Train welders, electricians, even engineers. Take these people and give them government jobs fixing infrastructure. Let them work for the federal and state governments for at least 4 years. They can gain real-world experience while supplying the country with the labor it needs to update it's declining roads, electrical grid, bridges, etc. From there, they could either stay with the government and move up or they can seek more money and better opportunities elsewhere. Start their own businesses, work for corporate firms, so on ad so forth.
