Why does it take white collars to get attention. We blue collars never get this much press.

You sure about that? I'm only 28 and started paying attention to this stuff no more than 8-10 years ago, but I seem to recall hearing quite a lot about manufacturing jobs being sent over to the maquiladoras in Mexico and the giant sucking sound and all that... I think you jsut don't hear about blue collar jobs anymore (as much) cuz that's "old news" - this white collar thing is the new game in town :-)

I was cognizant of the issues in offshoring in manufacturing -- however there was always room for advancement in the blue collar realm. Step up to being a skilled machinist, or the shop foreman. Or send your kids to school to become an engineer.

But where do the white collars have to go after their professions have been offshored? Graduate to being a WalMart greeter?

The people really getting screwed in this are the blue collars that sent their kids to college and now see their jobs being offshored to countries that have 10% of our cost of living.
