Dcan, you are so right. That is actually already happening. The problem is that the earth is not as large as it once was. We cannot continue to rake in huge salaries when our population is undereducated compared to the rest of the world. The time for high wages for easily done jobs is over. Its sad to say but America no longer has the upper hand. Its time for us to have to compete on our merits.
Just take a look at the cruise ships. They are staffed by, not Americans, but Europeans and Asians who are happy for the work. They are never registered in the US. The US is a terrible country to invest in right now. Most smart capital invests abroad in developing countries that are experiencing high growth and that have reasonable wages.
I really want jobs to come back to America and I think they will. But not in the Northeast or the West. They will come back to the southern states where wages are competitive and jobs are more plentiful.
