A lovely analysis and opinion of US jobs ending up overseas, but days late for my snappy comeback to that guy I didn't really feel like debating. The article also makes the unpopular points that
a. in a healthy economy there will still be unemployed people, usually around 5% and
b. the new jobs created as the labor market shifts will require people able to use and analyze information which requires some education and inclination, quite a lot more than was needed on the ole widget factory line.
As always, unpopular points lose out to shiny promises that can't be met, especially in an election year.
