Now.
When I was a young man, they built big buildings, filled them with machines to make stuff, and called them factories.
When I was middle aged, they built big buildings, filled them with stuff made in China, and called them distribution centers.
Now that I’m old, they don’t build big buildings anymore.
and give up me free ride
not going to happen
Those aren’t US jobs. They are Chinese jobs.
Lessse...The greedy fatcorps sent thousands of companies to Communist China for those 1930s wages...While the greedy corrupt in the U.S. government intentionally flooded the U.S. with tens of millions of low wage illegals...
Is there anyone in America who thought this would somehow end well for the American poor and middle class??
Anyone?
“Duh. CHINA.”
Manufacturing, yes, but a lot of those positions were lost already decades ago to Japan, Taiwan South Korea, etc. Those countries may have actually lost more manufacturing jobs recently than we have.
In tech support/customer service, obviously, a lot have gone to India and Bangladesh but many have also gone to the Philipines and Mexico.
In the airline industry a lot of jobs have gone to Central America and the Caribbean as more maintenance is being done for cheap down there.
They haven’t gone anywhere. More work is being done by less people globally, automation continues to improve, you can’t make it stop.
An interview with Sir James Goldsmith about the GATT treaty and how it would affect the US.
Higher prices and more idiotic regulations, like Obamacare, ought to do the trick.
>>Bring back US jobs from China.
Now.<<
How?
Tariffs? Trade wars?
What makes you think Adam Smith’s invisible hand is bounded by US Borders?
Sure why not legislate those jobs into existence?
With Bambicare it is more cost-effective to outsource our jobs than hire Americans.
You must not be an employer or you would know that.
Now it is up to the voter to lay off every congresscritter who voted in favor of Bambicare. Vote them all out!
1. The Baby Boomers are done raising families. They are now downsizing. That huge group needed everything in life to raise families.
2. Automation in every business functional are makes everything easier, faster, or unnecessary.
3. Illegals doing jobs under the radar for cash.
4. Foreign competition even when they assemble the product here.
5. Outsourcing.
When you vilify businesses and make the business climate unbearable, they move to friendlier climates. They should be celebrating getting rid of those greedy industrialists.
Pray America is Waking Up
It was less than 10 yrs ago that unemployment was near or below a real 5%, you couldn’t find people to do good jobs and wages were rising.
Deregulate, lower taxes, and engage in real fair trade and the USA will boom again. The world used to want to do business here.
Europe won’t compete (except Germany) communist South America can’t compete, Africa forget it. Asia and eastern Europe are the only competition, formidable yes, but entrepreneurial creativity is ingrained in our DNA.
We have to get off this Obama everything social equality, and no individual enterprise mentality soon or the entire world will suffer greatly.
You and the gov can scream all they want about bringing jobs back to the US, if the CEO in the boardroom of corporate America says FXXKING NO WAY, I want my bonus to increase it aint coming back. By the way Corporate America’s answer to jobs is more illegal immigrants and H-1B guest workers. Guess who really runs the country.

Gone to China everyone. Long time passing.
Fox News has become completely stupid. So glad I no longer have Cable/Satellite TV any longer.
Fox is asking where have the jobs gone? According to Fox News Sunday there are too many jobs so we need Mexicans to fill them.
The money that used to pay for jobs is now being consumed by Big Government regulations.
