No it has reappeared just in time for the elections. What's happened is that the rate of outsourcing of IT jobs and other white collar jobs to places like India has accelerated to millions per year, and no one is talking about it as a crisis. Or don't you think it is. Remember the white collar jobs were supposed to replace those industrial factory jobs that were already closing due to outsourcing and no one cared about.

A conundrum how do millions of jobs get outsourced and the unemployment rate goes down to 5.6 112,000 jobs added and the IBD (a source more trustworthy than the DNC) puts the giant fart ina tornado at 330,000 jobs lost vice 2.3 million. Election year scare mongering isn't new but it really has become high political theater to scare the hell out of anybody willing to listen to this claptrap.

No leading politicians cared about. I've been worried (vocally and loudly) about this and the long range implications for many years. Still don't find all that many people who agree with me that it is a serious problem, even on FR.
