Beachwalker, your right. Companies have been chasing the cheap labor around the third world for decades.Gradually the standard of living and costs rise and they move on to the next.This migration has always had an effect on American jobs.But, China's gonna be the mother of all job busters.They just have sooo many people, and the investment community is Jumping all over it despite the political and economic risks. China is allowed to grow at an unprecedented rate on someone else's dime.
So perhaps it's survival of the fittest, and there's a new world order around the bend. The gravy train is pulling into the station.
The part I don't understand is: Why aren't we fighting it?
We are taking on water and standing on the foredeck, when maybe it's time to pull it into drydock and shore her up before we lose her.
If you know what I mean.
