it isn't just IT jobs, read the NYT. It is all administration, including accounting, call centers/support, claims processing in the insurance industry, you name it. What started out with the outsourcing of application related IT services to India has increased in scope to include the entire gamut of business processes. ciol.com Bush and his team have grossly mismanaged this situation while they were busy chasing boogeymen in the Middle East. BTW since I am paid by the hour, I am not overcompensated in the way an executive can be with a useless BOD. Anyway no matter, Bush will go down on this issue because as you can see he and Elaine Chow (another loser) are avoiding the jobs question which is really all anybody cares about when it comes to the economy, and it is the ONLY THING that will get the tax rolls up and get us out of this horrible deficit which Bush created.

Never mind that such shifts in the labor markets are a long-running and natural part of economics referring to the "laws of economics" and calling outcomes the "natural part of economics" implies that there is nothing we can do to alter these outcomes. we just have to accept them and deal with them the best we can. you are approaching this from a totally backwards mode of thinking. like other free traders, you have been taught to believe that man must be subservient to the 'laws of economics', conforming himself to operate within a given set of principles, ostensibly based upon the selfish nature of man. economics are made to be subservient to the wishes of man, not the other way around. man is not made to serve or become subservient to economics as your thinking implies. put simply, economics should conform to men, men should not conform to economics.
