The American workforce is facing a changing world. American jobs are being outsourced to other countries and jobs are being lost in America.

September 2007, the U.S. Department of Labor reported that the unemployment rate was 4.6 and -4000 was added.

I beleive many Americans want American jobs to stay in America, and make jobs availiable to Americans citizens.

Globalization is great. Today, we now live in a borderless business environment, but if companies are sending jobs to other countries and the American general workforce will not benefit from this business model, who wins? Certainly not American workers, because we can not get a good paying job.

Again, what do we need to do as a country, to better prepare American workers, so we do not fall behind other countries with regard to jobs and a quality workforce?

In the last 25 years,our manufacturing base has been cut in half.Too late to cry about it now.Best course for the young and talented is to acquire skills that have a global marketability.Rest of America will need to learn how to get by with less while buying foreign made junk at Wally World.

Question comes too late.|||On the low end spectrum, if America wants to compete with foreign cheap labor, they%26#039;re going to have to work for low wages and for fewer benefits. Their is no way around this; you have to compete with what%26#039;s available and the most desperate people will work for whatever they can. Even on the high end field this is true. I%26#039;m a computer programmer, my field used to enjoy incredibly lucrative salaries. Not so much anymore, Indian programmers will do the same quality of work for about $10-$20 / hour. Gone are the days when a programmer could easily be making 6 figures several years out of college.

One way America could increase its manufacturing economy is by signing off on some type of amnesty or guest worker program. This would increase company%26#039;s incentives to operate within America (and pay taxes to our government).
