Yes, American labor today would be barely recognizable by, say, a steelworker transported from 1955. Talk to JFK - he's the one who gave America's steel industry to Germany. The exponential growth in the digital world has accelerated the metamorphosis to such a rate that a few million people haven't been able to keep up. *I think this fact and the rapid expansion of Oriental economies can be named as two factors in our 'jobless recovery.' Life is change. *That has always been true. Never been anything like the current rate of change or population growth. |

It has been declining ever since. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Where did you get that pearl of wisdom? World population continues to grow exponentially. In 1930, there were just 2 billion, we hit 3 billion around 1960, 4 billion in 1975, 5 billion in 1983, and 6 billion in ~ 1999. We're already closing rapidly on 7 billion. Yes, the rate of growth as a percentage of the total may be slightly lower, but when you deal with numbers like this, it's almost a non-sequitur. |
