"kids these days would rather be partying"

DAT is correct Kids today have no clue just give me the money and I'll do what I like which is nothing

I_like...

I'm in the software industry, so Ive never been happy about jobs going to India

that's exactly the industry I was thinking of...along with engineering and most recently video production...and who knows what else...

and now we've opened to Mexico....

I feel we are turning into a service country and outsourcing the jobs from our thoughts to other countries...

my point is....the market was running, with each piece of bad news it retreated a little, when the job figures come out it plummets....and our job situation has not improved and IMO doesn't stand a chance to improve....we've sent all our mfg jobs overseas (we are not an entire college educated population yet nor will we be so you have your grocery jobs going to our newly arrived guests from other countries, eg, Dunkin Donuts here is primarily staffed with Brazlian folks from what I see, we have our recruited scientists from India, since we haven't grown our computer expertise to the emerging nations as we would have under Gore we are eliminating jobs there by the 000's....

we have an older traditional administration who don't have the expertise to create new jobs and challenges for our country so I fear very strongly that what folks are seeing now is only going to multiply as long as this traditional, non technological administration is in place......

therefore each shock report coming out that impacts the economy (as this one with 1000 new jobs????????) is going to continue to impact the economy....and how can you hide it...the figures speak for themselves....

again, I hope I'm wrong but folks here can see their unemployed friend not being able to return to their areas of expertise....

Under Gore there was a money to back your mouth situation called jobs....today we have nothing to offer our US folks...
because the administration is out of the 50's

Amen to that brotha! I am also in IT for 29 years now. Most of the individuals I work for/with are indians. Troublesome for me to watch as it has evolved. While I will get into a scuffle about this comment, I think we in the US caused this debacle in multiple ways. 1). I would not be letting in the ,illions of people into this country that take our citizens work. Sorry but it is a fact. 2). Parenting.. As a fahter of 4 kids, all of it starts at the home front. I have been fortunate that I always had a great paying job and my wife could stay home to raise the kids. They have been pounded by the strong work ethic and manners and respect. No room for discussion. Now they are 25 (fireman) 23(Army sargeant and CID agent) 21 (attending college) 13 (still in grade school). People these days have ZERO respect for almost anything anymore and society is and going to be paying a dear price very soon. We see it already. Way too sad......
