maybe some services in Pacific Rim countries.

There are at least six pending trade deals, three of which start with T one of them hastwo T-names TTIP/TAFTA, thats the one with government procurement also, so no more new deals, sorry. get an education if you want a job. A lot of the construction jobs, energy industry jobs will likely have to automate in order to compete with the low wages from the LDCs.

No more local sourcing, didnt you get the memo?
