All manufacturing careers are going overseas.

More doom and gloom, the sky is falling, from the loony left. Yes, jobs are going overseas. No, I don't like that. Yes, we have far too many unemployed. But, ALL manufacturing? No.

Twenty years ago my husband and a friend of his started a manufacturing company. Just two guys in a small shop. Through their hard work it is now a large facility on ten acres. Employees about 90 people, give or take depending on the work orders. Right after Sept. 11 business came to a screeching halt. Now, business is booming like crazy. No jobs are outsourced. They hire good old fashioned Americans. And, shock of shocks, it's manufacturing! And its right here in the good old US of A.

I'm sick of winers crying the sky is falling.

Whatcha making? I owned a metal stamping shop for years, but EVERY one of my large quantity jobs went overseas years ago.
