We are moving into a new "Financial World", no pun intended.
The shift of power, on all fronts, is heading over to the Asian Tigers.
Out-sourcing is now going to be the norm, even more than before. Companies will do with less employed and put up decent numbers.
manufacturing is heading overseas for the most part. Those who stay in the US will run "Lights out" manufacture floors to the full extent... (Google the term).
The service economy is downsizing and the Financial jobs will not come back.
A jobless recovery in a sense. I believe unemployment will stay up around 10% for years.
We are not going back to the old economic trends. Game over.
However, new jobs and industries will be created. We will have a power house move in the Technology field, Energy Field and even Medical...regardless of the "BILL" that will not be passed this year.
