LOL, this document is hillarious in its attempt to shine positive light. I would LOVE to see how they came up with their job growth number for 2008. They have to be some uber-genius who can forsee 4 years in a super volatile industry, or pulling BS numbers straight out of their ass. The former is a impossibility, and the latter, certainty. CAD, you just can't see why "outsourcing" is bleeding a country to death. When all the dust are settled, the corporations are fat with profits and the "host" country is used and dried. Don't even start arguing about how businesses will spend their profit in US for "R&D and other upper level spending", because they won't. Why should they? When they can outsource it? You say they won't? That's what the experts said couple of years ago regarding the IT & Service industry. New training? New fields? Who's going to pay the cost for training/researching? How long will that take? How do we find income until we adjusts our new economy? It's not just simply "Suck it up, too bad". We've taken advantage for having that attitude far too long. It's true that every business have their right to seek maximum profit (and lately, w/o regards to ethical/moral consideration), but it's also true that as a citizen of a country and a individual worker, we have our power as voter and protestors to demand/force changes. All changes start with b*tching and complaining. France didn't start their revolution without the peasents complaining about their condition to the obscenely rich nor did our revolution without the complaint about unfair taxation.
