OK, tell that to the people here in North Carolina and South Carolina. "The inevitable has come, now you need to become computer programmers."
Have you ever interviewed a person who's gone back to "Tech School" after having a 25-year career working at "the factory"? If so, did you/would you hire that person? Now about illegal aliens... They're paid "under the table" and for lower than minimum wage. This supports my whole premise. For women in the workplace... When women started working, the amount of money in the economy grew because they started working, therefore there was an increase in jobs. It's just population growth. The jobs they took were created in the US, which is why they were even able to get them. Anyway, I'm tired of arguing for the day. Whether or not job loss is inevitable depends on how our government reacts to the outside economies. I'm a protectionist, you're a free trader. We disagree, no arguing that.

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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:175422 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
