Why are American's so nervous about their limited job growth? Their unemployment rate is still far below the long term unemployment rate in Canada , the EU and indeed most of the world.
They press seems determined to blame offshoring [Tom Peters] when the real cause of the jitters are high population growth (driven by the million immigrants a year) and the lack of a decent safety net for those without work. In particular healthcare and job retraining programs are areas that need work and I don't think the Bush Administration is willing to look at.
