With this happening and more to come, is there an answer?
Recently becoming unemployed myself, due to my printing job of 24 years "moving" overseas, I know how these people feel.
If we keep this pace up, pretty soon we'll all be working in grocery/fast food, for the government, or in healthcare.
Unless someone finds a way to ship the sick people out.

I just heard a report on NPR of insurance companies flying patents to India and China where surgery is cheaper.
The only way to combat this is to tax the crap out of companies that send jobs overseas, and give big tax cuts to companies that keep their jobs here and create new ones. My dad is going on two and a half years unemployed, with a dwindling(sp?)job market and his age increasing. Why do we allow our government to give billions to other countries at will when the people here are suffering with no help in sight? I feel you and wish you the best.
I'm concerned too. For me and my family.
It's not just the elderly that have their jobs on the line. All those folks retraining might think twice about Information Technology. The coutry has lost over HALF A MILLION "I.T" jobs due to downsizing and/or outsourcing.
It's not going to end. Getting the government in on the deal (taxes) smacks of dickering with free enterprise. Don't think that's the solution either.
One thing we all need to ask is this: What can I do locally that no one else can? You might get a workable solution. I'm still trying to answer the question.
