Q Thank you, Mr. President. Staying with that theme, although there are some signs of improvement in the economy, there are sectors in the work force who feel like they're being left behind. They're concerned about jobs going overseas,
that technology is taking over jobs. And these people are finding difficulty finding work. And although you're recommitted yourself to your tax cut policy, do you have any ideas or any plans within the administration of what you might do for these people who feel like there are fundamental changes happening in the work force and in the economy?
THE PRESIDENT: Sure. Listen, I fully understand what you're saying. In other words, as technology races through the economy, a lot of times worker skills don't keep up with technological change. And that's a significant issue that we've got to address in the country.
Of course if the President really wanted to get to the source of the problem, he would start with Public Schools and the NEA.
Don't be so obtuse... You are quoting half the comment only...
It's not hard to understand the phrase "technology is taking over jobs". That refers to automation, not some lack of skill. The question was clearly aimed to address the plight of the unskilled worker.
