That's how companies and government agencies are trying to "compete" with the Chinese and third world countries.

That's assuming you can get ANY of those jobs, which is virtually impossible to do if you are older.

This horrible state of affairs is allowed, and our politicians in Washington aren't doing one damned thing about job creation. Hell, widespread poverty is now a part of their neoliberal agenda.
