VNavy secretary says it's hard to get workers to want to build warships if they get paid what they might make at Buc-ee's or Amazon
U.S. Navy Secretary John Phelan has emphasized that the Navy faces significant challenges in recruiting and retaining workers due to the low wages offered in shipbuilding compared to other industries. He has stated that when workers can earn similar amounts at places like Buc-ee's or Amazon, it becomes difficult for them to be motivated to work in shipbuilding. Phelan's comments highlight the ongoing issue of pay disparity in the shipbuilding sector, which is a major concern for the Navy's efforts to revitalize the industry.
