Unfortunately, the number of people employed by firms like Elecraft
does equal the number of manufacturing jobs lost to China. Whilst some
are fortunate enough to have the skills to create an Elecraft, there
will always be many more who are capable of no more than working in
the factory that would have made the products.
But if we are really efficient we will:
A. Ship many of the jobs offshore to bolster come other economy
and increase our profits
and/or
B. Hire ilegals to do the jobs so that we can increase our
profits....and since we are making more, we can pay more taxes,
which of course can offset the costs of the services that the
illegals get because they are underpaid.
It's mind-boggling...I live in a very blue collar neighborhood. There
are less and less jobs avaialable...more and more folks unemployed.
More and more money leaving the country....more and more demands on the
society, less and less people paying taxes...so of course the taxes increase.
It's like a gigantic Ponzi Scheme.
And here Elecraft does something silly like produce the K3s here (g)
