Infrastructure jobs or Unskilled jobs

Good article in today's New York Times (dec 9) about a problem with infrastructure jobs only going to skilled labor.

What are the infrastructure needs of Monmouth County? Could some of these projects (Green industry) involve lots of training for presently low-skilled workers. The present planning to minimize the effect for the closing of Fort Monmouth seems aimed at retaining high-skilled jobs, but unemployment is higher in the low-skilled workforce. Could Fort Monmouth be turned into a training center for green industry work in central nj?
