The local Manpower agency is offering jobs for eight bucks an hour to people who want to drive a half hour to Washington PA and work in a banking cal center. Oh, it's only four hours a day, evening shift.
" The country as a whole cheered when they sent steel jobs overseas, thus decimating huge areas of PA, WV and Ohio"
Unions killed the steel industry there, making the cost of labor impossibly high. There is still a latent sense of entitlement in many of those areas, which is why they languish even today.
It is the cost of doing business that is driving high-tech offshore today. It's gov't not unions that are the driver this time. The effect is the same, though.
