Offshoring pays...CEOs

Ok, good points but listen to this: Inshoring is a myth. The idea that almost 2 million jobs were created in the last 18 months is a myth. Do you know how they calculated these numbers? They didn't look at how many more people are paying into their Social Security benefits (which WOULD give you a much more accurate figure), but instead they looked at how many people out there were still claiming for lost job benefits. Funny thing though - they all pretty much expired right around the same time that our government is claiming that all these jobs were created. Where are all these jobs? In your neighborhood? In mine? Maybe at Mcdonalds, I think they opened up another one down the road again. My factory is about 1/2 of what it was in 2000, and it is not getting any better even though the work has begun to pick up a bit here and there. Where are all these working people?? Maybe in fantasy land? Maybe they all went to India and China?; Posted by: rock06r Posted on: 09/01/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
