Wow, this is really funny. You are lamenting the loss of a measly million jobs (doubtful as that is) for political reason but where were the Republicans over the past 2 decades while MILLION of IT jobs were given away to foreign nationals via H-1B. Republican were AWAOL and are hypocrites. Very unchristian.
Since you brought up IT: there is a shortage of qualified workers at the moment. The good ones are commanding sky-high salaries, and the pool of lousy applicants is a mile deep.
