Did anyone think that the exact same jobs that were lost would be recreated here? Maybe yes, to some degree, but by and large the message I got was that most of the jobs created would be in new areas. Some people will need to make a career change.
The exact same construction or cubicle job won't be waiting for most people when the economy finally turns around. It's going to be different jobs. If we lose 300 condom manufacturing jobs and gain 300 jobs related to alternative energy, I'd say that's a good trade.
However, I have no interest in trying Chinese condoms.
