Great article. I just would not want to be one of the people whose job got outsourced. I mean Greenspan is talking about statistics and percentages when real people are out of work. To them, I think the suggestion that they will have to be trained for something new and probably have to move across the country to get the new job, which will not be availbale until about two years from now is little solace. But, I get that that is the reality of it because we are a global economy and U.S. companies like GM cannot sell $25,000 (avg. price) cars in a foreign country where the average income is $8,000 per year, etc.
