<<<CHADWICK: Well, I think we are seeing second round of layoffs, if you will, in some large corporations. We are also seeing a lot of mergers
and acquisitions and the other thing that we are seeing is corporations putting their capital where they can get the best return and often that is outside the U.S. from low-wage jobs, inside the U.S. for high-wage jobs.

CHADWICK: It has not and, in fact, I think that the unemployment rate sounds very, very low, but I would actually argue it's probably higher than it really is because you only are counting the people that are looking for jobs. And I think as good jobs keep coming out, the people that are laid off will come out of the woodwork. And I think it is very important because a lot of people are concerned that we are
going to -- we have too high a trade deficit. And I think that is looking wrong thing. The trade deficit right now is running about 1 percent of GDP, in contrast of 3 percent of GDP a decade ago. >>>

Is this a great economy or what? Lay the suckers off, downsize, ship jobs overseas. What happens when they have done all that. Methinks the lady better get a tight hold on her ass. (g)
