It is (almost) all about labor cost. Basically, if someone else has your
job skills and is willing to do your job for 20% of what you are being paid,
then they will have your job soon. No amount of moaning, howling or finger
pointing is going to change that. Not losing ones job to a foreign worker
has nothing to do with luck, it has to do with having skills that are not
easily replicated or having a job that is not easily portable.

Yet another reason that business is leaving America - increasingly
stringent enviromental regulations, increasinly complex goverment
regulations, increasingly excessive taxes; when the business leaves,
those
jobs are gone...forever.


You should stop listening to so much talk radio.

Just what did I state that is incorrect?

BTW, has NAFTA, GATT and other 'free trade' laws cause you to lose
your job? If not, you one of the lucky ones. Speak to the many from HP,
SISCO, Nike, Microsoft, Levi Strauss, etc whose jobs are now overseas.
They
would say that YOU need to listen to talk radio.
