Probably 20-25% by 2011. This country has a negligible amount of manufacturing. Where are all these jobs going to be created?? And what kind of jobs will they be?

Management, finance, government, medical services, salesmen, engineers, IT jobs like programming, Marketing, just to name a few.

Such a narrow scope of jobs won't be enough to put all the unemployed back to work. And for a management job you have to have people to manage, obviously.

With the underemployed the actual rate is around 16.9%. Change you can believe in!

haha, the minimum wage boogeyman again!

Do you think companies just sit back and lose money and nothing happens?

If you think McDonalds and WalMart are going to lose money by paying $7 something instead of $5 something I would say you're being a bit unrealistic, Gustaf.

Yeah, lets give them more money so they can waste it faster.
