Most of these jobs are not coming back. I have been watching the nature of this shift, and from various media interviews with the jobless I've seen over the past few years, jobs like secretaries are vanishing (who needs them with voice mail?). Many jobs that are gone forever involve college-educated people who manage, coordinate, supervise, and otherwise move things through a business process. They add little or no value to the process, and their work is being automated. This shift is going to devastate the economy, especially as long as these people try to find the same kind of work. The public safety net will be strained to the breaking point, as mid-career workers will have to be on unemployment indefinitely until they retire or are retrained. The percent of long-term unemployed is staying fairly constant, which shows a class of workers has been removed from the workforce who won't come back without retraining. Until the essential nature of this shift is understood, no one will be able to do anything about it. |

http://www.springsreformed.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=160&Itemid=155Seems like the church Pastor Quigley is preaching puts their sermons online, but the site hasn't been updated recently. Maybe his American sermons will be there some time. (Or maybe this isn't the right web site.) |
