: I think the U.S. workforce will have to change. Obviously we are losing manufacturing jobs, good paying jobs. People then are settling into lower paying no benefit jobs.But other people are moving into other sectors where pay is high. Since we are a nation that more people will be moving into the older age sector, I think healthcare is one area that a great number of jobs may be had.Healthcare can't be outsourced , the sick and elderly are here and the caregivers have to be here, the only thing that could change this is if the people here won't enter this field, it would open it to people from other countries. It seems the people of this country usually adapt to trying times so I think we will this time to. The days of working in a factory after high school until retirement are on the way out or already gone.We have to change, there will be jobs in the healthcare field, technology, and in the service sector, we just have to adapt to the change.These other countries- China, Korea, India have tasted success and like it, they will not go backwards for us just as we didn't for them.It is just like Walmart, we have to learn to compete just as Walmart's adversaries do .It is tough to be #1, someone is always looking to knock you off your pedestal.We have opened the door for these countries- look out now.
why be so afraid of these people living under a dictatorship and the shadow of the most powerful nation EVER.. we will compete-just watch.
