health care workers are essentially quasi-government workers - since a significant part of health care dollars comes from government.

maybe you could identify exactly where private sector people ought to find jobs - the real private sector, not government or health care or some other industry tied to government spending. because those are the workers that comprise the net tax base for the country.

If so, then so are the steelworkers you're trying to protect at my expense, and the farmers, and just about every other industry, unfortunately. But under the current artificial market circumstances, they are "the private sector."

I would not ask me for job advice--I have not had to look for a job lately. But there are a lot of things out there. I don't do that badly, and I know people who make a better living than I do selling things off of E-Bay. I know office IT guys (on-site), and there's a huge shortage of pharmacists right now, almost a crisis. If I just think over the last three days what sort of professionals I've met in industries where one can still make a good living--delivery jobs, H-Vac jobs, skilled trades (plumbing, electrical, et al), construction work, I met an aircraft mechanic just finishing his apprenticeship, and there are auto mechanics and car salesmen, I have friends who run blogs at a small profit, and edit texts on a freelance basis, and a whole host of other things.

And if we'd change our environmental laws, we'll have more coal jobs. If we repeal our tariffs, we'd have a lot more decent jobs in agriculture.
