<<<Our high tech jobs are rapidly leaving the country. Where are they migrating to? Places like India, which is now writing software for Microsoft:>>>>
They can have our technology jobs and many now ancient activities such as metal-forming, factory robots, chip making, plating,paint formulas, TV sets, electronics.
What do we have left?
Supertech - satellites, Qualcom, radar, imaging, cosmic ray capture,measurement of gravity waves. SETI.
Macrotech - NASA.Space stations and exploration, the B-2's, world-wide weather and earthquake monitoring, nuclear fusion reactors. Particle colliders
Biotech- Vaccines, genetically engineered plants, human replacement part culture
Microtech- Intel, Ibm, and LU developing ever smaller and faster electronics, TV and FM on a chip, fiberoptics
Nanotech- Carbon fibers, catalysts,fuel cells, fexible LCD panels, self-replicating machines.
Its too early to worry, we are set to lead in ultra-techs for another 20+ years. The threat is not imminent(g)
But the job loss is a threat to both candidates so do not expect to get any accurate figures from the Press. I have heard it said that while losing some jobs, we have actually
gained up to 2mm that are not being counted
Why is our unemployment rate under 6% while Germany is around 12% ?
