Our unemployment is making no progress at all.

Stop sending US jobs overseas, especially stop sending US jobs to China.

China now out-exports America, and all the trends are in China’s favor.

Wake up people. Bring back US jobs.

RE: Stop sending US jobs overseas, especially stop sending US jobs to China.

How do we outlaw that?

The trend of lower manufacturing jobs has been going on for decades now thanks to productivity improvements. This is a chart showing manufacturing jobs as a percent of all non-farm payrolls back to the 1930's.

Everything is looking great, we just heard that my area is getting a new business to occupy the building where a plant shut down. The new business will be packaging Cambodian rice, glory, glory, glory! No, I didn’t make it up we are going from manufacturing to packaging imported rice.

Corporate America tipped the balance when NAFTA, free trade etc was passed during the 1980’s. During that time Mexicans, Chinese, Indians barely can meet the technical skills of US workers until corporate America help them close the skill gap by training them. Now it is too late. Cannot tell the Chinese and Indian society to dumb down or freeze and let the US leap forward technically and skill wise. Add automation that wiped out middle manager office jobs and now many skilled machinist jobs in what factories we have left. New economy will be the 1 percent rich, followed by entrepreneurs and high skill workers, and the rest will be poor service workers. That is the new world economic order of the 21st Century. Free trade is to blame, and the resulting globalist economy cannot be undone, only thing left for most Americans is how do you prepare to fit in and how you prepare determines if you are poor service worker or one notch higher.
