-—This is not about white collar vs. blue collar jobs, but about the “new collar” jobs that employers in many industries demand, but which remain largely unfilled.——

That is a great statement of reality. That statement includes the reason we will “not bring our jobs back to America”. We don’t need those old products to be made here. We can’t provide workers with the knowledge and skills to fill the jobs available.

Those that insist on “bringing those jobs home” don’t know it but they also insist on establishing what amount to “labor zones” paying less than minimum wage and located in the cities where vast populations are basically ignorant and incompetent by today’s real labor market requirements.

What can’t they understand there is a difference between an American company that moves out of country specifically to get cheap labor and then imports it into America and a company that just imports.What can’t they understand there is a difference between an American company that moves out of country specifically to get cheap labor and then imports it into America and a company that just imports.

Spoken like an idiot who understands nothing about humans and politics. We need manufacturing jobs so ALL Americans can work and be productive. It is also a matter of national security.

You need to de-Limbaugh your brain.
