Sure losing a job is hard, I have lost a few so I know.
The majority of the guys out on the curb this week will be able to find gainful employment in short enough order as I take it they are all bright and urbane go-getters.
That isn't the same thing as losing your job because we can pay someone else to produce the same stuff for a third of the wage with a 80th of the health and safety considerations in a developing country.
Damn the consequences for our society (which conveniently doesn't exist) because the guys doing the outsourcing do not have to factor that into their balance sheets.
Those are the jobs that don't come back, those are the communities ripped asunder.
Dry your eyes finance workers, it will get better soon, these things are cyclical.
