mrraven writes: "According to Ronald Reagan's former deputy secretary of the treasury in this
article in Counterpunch , globalization is destroying U.S. I.T. jobs. According to the fine article:
"During the past five years (January 01 — January 06), the information sector of the U.S. economy lost 644,000 jobs, or 17.4 per cent of its work force. Computer systems design and related work lost 105,000 jobs, or 8.5 per cent of its work force. Clearly, jobs offshoring is not creating jobs in computers and information technology."
Is the U.S. on it's way to becoming a third world country of burger flippers?"
