HR, bookkeeping, medical/legal transcribing, preparing tax returns are all off shored now.
The internet has led to this boom.
there is no medical transcribing anymore - the stupid big government with it's intrusion with making computerized charting ( it's a nightmare) killed those jobs.
And the patient safety
OP says 4 out of 5. I say, under Obama, that number will increase to 6 out of 5.
I say it jokingly, but that, sadly, is Darth Barry's motive for our country. Government gets the spoils, and the rest of us get nothing. President plays more golf, and we end up living in a sewer.
I highly recommend you take control of you own life and claw your own way out of the sewer as opposed to counting on DC to pull you out.
I know stats can be twisted and such but anything close to this picture is sad as hell. I mean down in the dumps sad.
Here's AN EXAMPLE:
From the link: Nationwide, the count of America's poor remains stuck at a record number: 46.2 million, or 15 percent of the population
The population grows each year and therefore there are more poor people just as there are more wealthy people.
There was no formal definition of poverty prior to the 60's. Researchers have extrapolated historical figures based on the working poor, rural households and farmers. Children were not counted.
1870's-62%
1900-50%
1909- 44%
Prior to the 1930's, it has been estimated that child labor lifted 7-10% of families out of poverty.
1930's- 60% and 82% of all farmers
1940's -54%
1959-1962 's- 20-25%
1964- 19%
1967 - 30% of all seniors lived below poverty compared to 13% in 2008
2008- More than 75% of poor households are headed by single mothers. 22% of those living in poverty are under 18.
The poverty rate has not ( yet?) gone above 15.2 % since the 60's.

"President Obama is playing his usual round of Saturday golf with his usual roundup of junior aides. He stopped briefly at the White House following his event at the Korean War Memorial today before heading out to the course at Fort Belvoir in Northern Virginia."
There are 435 elected representatives and 100 senators who officially work 126 days, this year.
What might they be up to today beyond contemplating their 5 week summer recess and fund raising for their reelection?
This is very distressing, and really underscores the fact we need to find a permanent solution to eliminate, or reduce economic inequality. The problems of class mobility are especially heightened these days. And it doesn't matter what ethnic group you are in.
I don't know about that. I began working @ age 12 in a soda fountain and then as a merchandise checker @ Wiebolts, and was gainfully employed until recessions hit, and was out of a job for six months.
I think many Americans go through this phase at least more than once in their lifetimes, that is periods of employment and periods of time "between jobs".
Yes, that's why the so-called "poor" now live in 2000 sq ft homes, can eat out in restaurants using food stamps, have internet, video game players, shop at stores in the mall, and live a very high standard of life.

Really? Because I have yet to see evidence of those so-called "poor" people. The once I see are struggling in crappy neighborhoods, with jobs with decreasing hours, and no disposable income for even the most limited of luxuries.
Oh, please. The "it's Bush's fault". Fine.What exactly has Obama done in the past 5 years to fix what Bush broke?
Let's take it a step back even further and go back to Bill Clinton. If you can be honest, you will acknowledge that Bush inherited some of Clinton's mistakes. It takes time to find out that all these brilliant ideas that presidents came up were serious mistakes that had a huge impact on this country. We now know that outsourcing hurt the US. Anyone with a half a brain knew it was going to hurt the country to begin with. Who repealed the Glass-Steagall Act - how did that turn out for this country? Who benefitted from repealing it and who lost??
Obama, Bush, Clinton all work for the corporations and banks and give lip service to everyone else.
I'll wait for your response.
ALL that came before contributed to right now. ALL that came before kicked the can into the future.
Maybe we can all join hands and blame the invention of the tractor. Prior to that , about 200 years ago, about 80% of the people worked to produce surplus food for the 20%.
