We need a jobs retraining program that people like him can avail of. And companies who move jobs overseas must be made to pay for retraining these folks for other jobs. They shouldn't be allowed to just pull up stakes and move out without some repercussions.

If only these retraining programs ever showed much success. Finding real livelihoods for people who's industries have disappeared is a stubborn intractable problem.
