I don't think the article has a slant towards either party. It portrays candidates of both parties trying to play into people's fears of job losses but not really giving ideas or visions for improving the situation. The article mentions employers identifying candidates who are likely to help keep jobs in North Carolina, but it doesn't state which party is likely to produce those candidates.

The jobs issue shouldn't be such a strong issue for Democrats. One of the big factors in jobs going overseas is the over-regulation of American business. The Democrats are the driving force for that over-regulation and subsequent job losses. Another big factor in loss of jobs is lawsuit abuse, and the Democrats are typically on the side of the trial lawyers. If we could reduce regulations and lawsuits, more businesses would want to keep manufacturing in the United States. The Republicans need to make this case and show that a lost job should lead to a vote for true conservative candidates.

I agree but even so, it is hard to compete with people who make a dollar a day (manufacturing) or 15,000 a year (tech).

People will stick with what they know and think of Republicans of the party of the rich and the democrats as the party of the working man.
