EDIT Don't put the unemployment mess on my shoulders.
You just got done saying how more people are getting employed. I find that odd when unemployment is so high, and that figure can actually be doubled if one takes into consideration the people who are no longer on the unemployment rolls because they've given up, their benefits have expired, or for some other weird accounting manipulation of the unemployment rate that Bush started, and that I'm sure Obama has followed, and will continue to be followed regardless of who is the next President.
We are doing a pilot for a company with 6,000 locations through the US and Canada. We will save them over $2500 per store per year. They can't wait to roll this out as we are in the process of rolling out a 13,000 store chain located through-out the world and our solution is saving them significanty more as they did not have to change their POS systems and only had to purchase terminals.
Americans and Canadians and Europeans actually are hired by the companies to do the roll-out. When companies save money they can hire people even if temporary.
Well, that certainly is reassuring.
Why would we have to hire any Americans when after the project they go back to India or to another part of the world.
