Hi-Tech Brain Drain Causing Major Concerns in the Military

The US military is facing a shortage of engineers and other high skilled workers, who are needed to help construct new military projects. Building advanced weaponry and satellites among other projects are taking longer to get completed and many have been going billions over budget. A few reasons for this is that many young engineers get jobs with Google or Microsoft, jobs that are high paying. It does not help that the military, especially the airforce, have been facing budget cuts despite receiving billions of dollars for new weapon systems. This leads to inefficiency which can threaten our miliary technological superiority in the long term if not addressed soon. IHT
