Yeah... that really sucks!
There are no safe jobs anymore.
If the job can be done on a computer or over the phone, then it can be exported to someone living in a mud-hut and making pennies a day.
Even the manual-labor jobs are not safe. If all the office jobs are shipped off, there will be no need to build or maintain buildings to hold the workers.

Yep, I agree. I was reading an article this past Sunday in a newspaper about how just being a good employee, working hard, will no longer help you climb the corporate ladder anymore. There's no such thing as being loyal to any company these days. Employment in America is awfuly bleak these days.
