I came down with a nasty bug last week that kept me from posting, but we're getting back on track this week.
This week will focus on labor issues from various perspectives. First up is this quality article that is both a profile of people trying to get by in a transitioning US economy and a broader analysis of those economic transitions. It goes beyond simplistic explanations of job losses in manufacturing (such as the presumption of simple outsourcing) and helps understand the magnitude of the problems that are faced by so many in the American workforce.
