i might add that there are quite a few people that
have jobs building those houses.
  you are right about your field and some other
fields. some of the jobs are going overseas. american
companies are hiring a lot of people overseas. i wish
i could say that there was a end of that in sight,
but, i do not see a end to it. i'd wear my sore hands
out if i tried to tell you what it would take to stop
the trend. and neither democrat nor republicans has it
in their gut to take the action necessary to make it
more profitable to companies to keep operations here.
