Be happy - nothing changed.

I am not blaming Obama for the outsourcing, it is the world economy. ACA just makes sure it will continue.

Really? You weren't blaming him? Dang... I'd hate to see it if you WERE blaming him....

You need some new talking points, Fred... The old ones have been rated with so many Pinocchios and Pants-On-Fires that they're getting stale.

I read in the Week last week that we can expect a continuing spiral downward in wages and wealth as China & India improve their quality.

It'll be interesting to see what happens when the majority of the population is working at part-time minimum wage jobs...

Yeah, that will be terrible...

Manufacturing jobs boom is for real
September 10, 2012

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- President Obama last week promised a boom in manufacturing and 1 million new jobs if he is reelected.

But is the boom for real? For high-paying, skilled manufacturing jobs, it just might be.

The number of job openings for skilled factory workers has increased 38% since 2005, according to numbers from the Conference Board that measure labor demand across industries.

More strikingly, the sharpest increase in postings for skilled workers -- 152% -- has occurred in the last three or so years.

Among the states where demand is the highest for skilled workers are Ohio, Michigan, Texas, California, Illinois and Indiana, according to the Conference Board.

The employers range from small parts makers that contract with large manufacturers to mid-sized and large assemblers in the auto, aerospace and industrial metals sectors.

But since the losers on the Right are cheering for things to fail, and are more interested in rejoicing at any negative news, it's going to be a looooong four years for you.

Wow... It just sux to be you, don't it? All those part-time jobs, er, manufacturing jobs coming back...Even a decrease in off-shoring? RMoney will be so disappointed.

New Numbers Show an Increase in Manufacturing Jobs in the U.S.

Factory Job Gains Under Obama Best Since Clinton: BGOV Barometer

Increase in manufacturing jobs result of decrease in offshoring

A welcome rise in manufacturing jobs in the U.S.

"Is the boom for real? It just might be." Wow, that sounds like wishful thinking to me.

And there is going to be some increase in manufacturing because of the lower value of the US dollar, we are getting more competitive. (And US workers are essentialy seeing a paycut even if their paycheck stays the same, example, higher food costs and energy costs.) But that is Bernanke, not Obama.

The manufacturing jobs aren't paying as much as they used to. Due to high energy costs and a reduction of labor costs, it makes more sense for the companies to be here.

But the gain in jobs is overshadowed by the fact that even with the gain in jobs, the labor costs have gone down. In otherwords, everyone has taken a pay cut just to keep their jobs.

Hardly a good ecomonic indicator.

NAFTA.
