John Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock
(MADE IN JAPAN ) for 6 am.
While his coffeepot
(MADE IN CHINA)
was perking, he shaved with his
electric razor
(MADE IN HONG KONG)
He put on a
dress shirt
(MADE IN SRI LANKA),
designer jeans
(MADE IN SINGAPORE)
and
tennis shoes
(MADE IN KOREA)
After cooking his breakfast in his new
electric skillet
(MADE IN INDIA)
he sat down with his
calculator
(MADE IN MEXICO)
to see how much he could spend today. After setting his
watch
(MADE IN TAIWAN )
to the radio
(MADE IN INDIA )
he got in his car
(MADE IN GERMANY )
filled it with GAS
(from Saudi Arabia )
and continued his search
for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.
At the end of yet another discouraging
and fruitless day
checking his
Computer
(made in MALAYSIA ),
John decided to relax for a while.
He put on his sandals
(MADE IN BRAZIL),
poured himself a glass of
wine
(MADE IN FRANCE)
and turned on his
TV
(MADE IN INDONESIA),
and then wondered why he can't
find a good paying job
in AMERICA
AND NOW HE'S HOPING HE CAN GET HELP FROM A PRESIDENT
MADE IN KENYA
JOBS...
Exactly!
You cannot have a Wal Mart society mentality and caviar taste for very long.
The macro economics kick in and "redistribute" the wealth to the countries who produce tangible goods and sell to others.
... Currently the US is at a pivotal point. The manufacturing base in the US is highly diminished due to lower cost import goods. The technology jobs are being outsourced at a rapid rate to places like India where education is high and labor cheap. Eventually the majority of the jobs in the US will be
service related which does not equate to long term high value GDP growth... In essence as the dollar devalues and quality jobs vanish then the US lifestyle will have to adjust downward accordingly.
At the same time the US has no intentions of putting up barriers to entry on foreign goods to promote job growth in the US. China p0wns us and we are tied in that area of trade.
Unemployment on the record is 10ish%, realistically I concur with the 20% estimates. Just yesterday I found out that 2 good friends lost their "money" IT jobs out of the blue. So much for job security in IT.
... Good luck.
