I was reading the Sunday morning paper today and read that the Bush Administration is trying to re-classify fast food positions,(grilling burgers) as a manufacturing position.In an apparent rebuttal to all of the outsourcing of American jobs overseas the Bush administration is trying to make what's left here sound better. It is figured that up to 1/6 of the jobs here in Silicon Valley may be oursourced in the near future as Venture Capitalists and shareholders demand higher profits and better returns on their investments. Since several million manufacturing jobs have disappeared since 2000, and there are millions of fast food workers in the USA, re-classifying them as manufacturing employees would be a good response to the present administration critics arguing that we are losing too many higher paying jobs. However most of the jobs created since 2000 have been at the bottom end of the pay scale. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink2.gif
