Amna Nawaz:

But, by some current estimates, only half of those jobs will be filled. So where will the workers needed come from? Well, how about some two-year colleges like Cincinnati State?
Our economics correspondent, Paul Solman, paid a visit in search of hope for the future.
Zane Decker, Cincinnati State Technical and Community College: It had to have three wheels. It had to be a gas motor, and it has to have a wheelie bar, because these things do wheelies.
