The level of employment in the United States has been declining since the year 2000. There have been moments when things have appeared to have been getting better for a short period of time, and then the decline has resumed. Thanks to the offshoring of millions of jobs, the replacement of millions of workers with technology and the overall weakness of the U.S. economy, the percentage of Americans that are actually working is significantly lower than it was when this century began. And even though things have stabilized at a reduced level over the past few years, it is only a matter of time until the next major wave of the economic collapse strikes and the employment level goes even lower. And the truth is that more good jobs are being lost every single day in America. For example, as you will read about below, Warren Buffett is shutting down a Fruit of the Loom factory in Kentucky and moving it to Honduras just so that he can make a little bit more money. We see this kind of betrayal over and over again, and it is absolutely ripping the middle class of America to shreds.

We are enduring the illusion of freedom and prosperity.
It won’t last much longer.
Nothing that is happening gives me any hope for better times.
‘Disability’ for too many is welfare that goes on and on and on until the country goes broke.
Hereafter, sending our manufacturing base and millions of jobs to Asia will be known as a really stupid thing to have done.
They certainly eat better than kids in our public schools these days.
There will be better times ahead. Between now and then, best prepare for the worst.
How long? Why will it change? The current generation of indoctrinated children will have to pass and their children and their children.
How long did God make the Israel wander in the desert after they had sinned the great sin? Until the children of the children of the sinners were dead as I recall.
I won’t live to see it. You won’t either.
HEY DOWNER DEBBIE!. WE ARE GOING TO FIX THINGS NEXT ELECTION!
I don’t think things will ever be like they were during our lifetime. I think we’re seeing the end of an age. The next one will be far different, IMO.
‘DEADBEATS’
Did I make it in first?? ;-)
And on that I agree.
Nope... ;)
and what you're looking at is prolly one lunch shift of three for one shift of the day, ie it looks like that nine times a day... also that might be for only one plant on a campus of several different plants think Foxconn
Foxconn's largest factory worldwide is in Longhua, Shenzhen, where hundreds of thousands of workers (varying counts include 230,000,[19] 300,000,[21] and 450,000[22]) are employed at the Longhua Science & Technology Park, a walled campus[8] sometimes referred to as "Foxconn City"[23] or "iPod City".[24] Covering about 1.16 square miles (3 square km),[25] it includes 15 factories,[23] worker dormitories, a swimming pool,[26] a fire brigade,[8] its own television network (Foxconn TV),[8] and a city centre with a grocery store, bank, restaurants, bookstore, and hospital.
You get a biscuit...
"A foreman immediately roused 8,000 workers inside the company’s dormitories, according to the executive. Each employee was given a biscuit and a cup of tea, guided to a workstation and within half an hour started a 12-hour shift fitting glass screens into beveled frames. Within 96 hours, the plant was producing over 10,000 iPhones a day."

There is a way out of this mess, but I am pessimistic that the American people will take the right fork in the road ahead.
Taxman’s suggestion:
1.) Throw all sitting RINO and LIEberal (both Democrat and Republican) Congressmen and Senators out of office in November. That should give Real Americans a veto-proof majority in the House and the Senate.
2.) Enact the FairTax in January, 2015.
3.) Tell Ophonbama AND his entire administration to kiss our ass and get our of our way! We are in control! You are superfluous, and are in the FReeping way!
So...there is no action available, other than survival?
This is what employment in America will look like. Labor the world over will be paid the prevailing worldwide wage. And they will do what their betters tell them or they will starve. This is the new world order.
Looks like the Myans were right, 2012 was the end of the last age.
