When you compete globally for jobs with India and China, what do you expect? You can't go back to the kinds of union-protected jobs there were in the 50s and 60s, just ain't gonna happen unless we cut ourselves off from the rest of the world. The lesson here is to find a niche job skill that pays decently and can't be easily outsourced.
