No, in fact that's why the US was able to absorb the millions of women that joined the workforce in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. We've also been able to absorb the millions of illegal aliens. I think there will always be plenty of jobs, the problem is nobody can guarantee you in what or where. Take "webmaster" - it didn't exist in 1992. So at the time you could even see that as a place for a job yet here it is. You just have to go on faith that there will be plenty of jobs; that willingness to do a hard day's work will always equal a job. Job protection may work in a short term stop-gap way but all it does is protect people from change and delay the inevitable. It's result would be to keep a 38 year old from having to learn new skills until they're 48. That's not a win. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get help!
