I will trust the above data from the U.S. Department of Labor: Bureau of Labor Statistics

But, I'm curious, what do you do for a living? I would think that you, like most of the people on DU have personal stories of friends and family who have lost their jobs to the outsourcing of American jobs. Perhaps it will happen to someone you know soon, so the effects can become more real to you. This is a serious issue. As Dem's we must unify to fight the costly trade agreements, as Obama promised.
