This was a good discussion between us all - thanks X and Dale. I am a little too close on this issue probably.

I saw 12 people at my office, all in IT or engineering, out of a job just at the end of January. I also have a good friend that was let go from Ford (also in IT) - from last June.

For him, this is not academic. His unemployment has run out, and there are no IT jobs. He has looked, and I have helped him.

New jobs will be created, that is for sure, but if we have massive dislocations - we are going to need new answers, and new social policies to handle this.

Take care all, and good night.
