agree on labor perspective as far as exportable assembly/mfg tasks, Mexico is part of our economy as far as lowend service roles, Mexican and other Latino seem to be proliferating dont slam me, my Hispanic compadres some trivia: in west suburbs of Boston where I live in summer, the largest concentration of Brazilians in all of North America is found in Framingham, next town over... very large Portuguese contingency in several towns surrounding Boston... you cannot go to a restaurant or hotel without encountering non-English speaking Hispanics doing their jobs dutifully... I wonder how many are citizens... I suspect not many... one cannot enter a small state park in another neighboring town on a given weekend sunny day without hearing all Spanish, no English... oops, probably much Portuguese, which I can sometimes distinguish with their "S" sound but for professional ranks, I agree with you absolutely the US economy is fast becoming more white collar or at least the growth is with the professional posts just heard yesterday on CNBC a Clinton Labor spokesman speak about relaxing the immigration standards for professionals the tight labor force is surely felt most among professional ranks I just learned that my replacement at Staples is from India he was educated in the US and has good not great English the poor sucker has some massive shoes to fill / JW
