I read the article and a couple of things come to mind: The jobs many Americans used to take for granted are gone and they aren't coming back, and women have taken over the workplace.

The article mentions women taking nursing positions in response to the changing economy. That is wrong. Nursing has traditionally been a female dominant field, and as a matter of fact, not too many years ago there was a huge push to get men into the field.

The article also mentions the idea of modifying SS disability being floated. It's past time for that to have been done. The number of people who don't want to work, but still want to "draw a check" through SS disability has to be staggering. In my previos life I have seen the whole "out" through disability from the inside. The number of people I've encountered trying to get go out on disability, who aren't disabled, is an eye opener. The overwhelming majority of the cases I encountered weren't disabled, they just don't want to work. It's disgusting.

Your thoughts on the article?
