Re: Global Economy What high paying science and technology jobs? Thanks to H1b even work done in the US is done at substandard wages because what jobs aren't outsourced, we bring in immigrants to depress our wages.
You have NO economy without a large manufacturing base, period. It is manufacturing, not design, that drives an economy.

You have NO economy without a large manufacturing base, period. It is manufacturing, not design, that drives an economy. I respectfully disagree. The reason we have to many H1B Visa's is because our country is woefully behind in math. Before Obama was elected, there was an article in Discovery magazine I believe where the Top 100 CEO's and scientists were asked what they'd like to see. It was almost unanimous that we need to push math, science, and basic research in this country as other countries that we issue H1B Visa's too are well ahead of us in those areas.
All one has to do is look at my area which was heavily dependent on textile and furniture manufacturing to see that you don't need manufacturing to have an economy. We lost virtually all textile manufacturing within the past 10 years and yet managed to get the vast majority of those workers retrained and placed into good paying technology service jobs. |

1 edit | Wrong. These tech companies are just interested in cheap labor. They could get Americans to do those jobs, they just don't want to pay them what they are worth.
