I remember the projection from years ago (say c 1985)....Either you will be a specialist (Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer, etc.....or in the service industry which is where we’re at.

Businesses that are location dependent are safe also, basically anything that can be outsourced will be.

From end of the article: “.....Shrink the government, and when people ask where those former government employees are going to work we’ll have some nice manufacturing jobs waiting for them.”

Absolutely, so don’t hesitate to eliminate.

That is you.

Gov workers are destroying this country.

They get paid double what their private sector counterparts are paid (benefits), retire earlier (55), get every city, county, state and federal holiday off, never work more than 40 hours a week, complain endlessly, as a group vote for those who raise taxes and then (endlessly) increase their salaries (annual 2% cola plus 2-5% performance), are mostly unionized, and produce absolutely NO wealth for the country.

Any hope for revitalizing this country’s economy begins with massive defunding of gov workers salaries, pensions and benefits.

Otherwise it’s same ole same ole, higher taxes to accommodate the unionized gov workers constant demand for salary increases.

This article might have some good points, but the basic premise here is a lot of nonsense. Anyone who measures a sector of our economy based on the number of people employed in that sector doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.

When this country was founded, approximately 19 out of every 20 people -- that's 95% of the nation's work force -- worked in some form of agriculture. Our standard of living was primitive by any modern measure, and our total national output of agricultural products was a fraction of what it is today ... even with agriculture comprising only 1.5% of our work force.

If this is from Allen West, then I have to say that it’s sad to see what early onset dementia does to someone.

The difference is that agriculture jobs flat out disappeared. The manufacturing jobs didn’t disappear, there still around. The got shipped out. So you are the one spewing nonsense.

On the other hand, we manufacture far more goods than ever before. We just don’t need any workers to do it!

It was on his website, but for his own sake I hope he didn't write it.

Allen West has spent nearly his entire adult life working in government.

You left off the 4 days per pay-period of “telework” with no accountability except they need to be signed in to VDI to read emails or something.

Of course telework is for reducing greenhouse gases so its OK, right?
