You May Lose Your Job, but You Won't Be Out of Work :: AO

You May Lose Your Job, but You Won't Be Out of Work :: AO: "In the ongoing fiery debate about outsourcing, panelists make some bold statements, including comparisons to steelworkers: 'Things changed, but everybody found work.'"

This follows closely along my thesis from back when outsourcing started to raise eyebrows. That is that the NATURE of the work will change, but this does not mean everyone is standing in a wellfare line. Everyone mus be willing and able to evolve. This will most negatively impact older workers (but that is routinely the case with this type of change). Even then, you can't downplay the ability to change regardless of age in an information driven society.
