Both of my daughters lost their jobs in the past two years.

They both have MBA's and worked hard for 15 years and then got laid off. Both are working again at 1/2 their former salaries.

There is a lot of anger out there,not so much that jobs are being lost,that happens,but that good jobs are being shipped overseas.

My husband is an accountant (corporate). When the computer jobs starting leaving, I said "Phew, glad we aren't computers".

When I heard of other industries being hit (architecture, etc.) I said "Phew, ..."

Now, we are hearing financial jobs being sent to India (American Express or Deloitte & Touche). My husband says "Do they even have an understanding of GAAP accounting?

I guess it will be our turn next. Maybe we can come up with the $250,000 for a Subway franchise.

There is a lot of anger out there,not so much that jobs are being lost,that happens,but that good jobs are being shipped overseas.

And if it continues unabated through 2008, this issue will have traction for whichever liberal democratic (God forbid Hillary!) who chooses to use it.
