Comment on With His Job Gone, an Autoworker Wonders, ‘What Am I as a Man?’parent

Indeed, this is not a new thing.

"For every job, so many men, so many men noone needs." Written in the Thatcher days, inspired by the Depression, still relevant today.

These are complicated issues, which are not solved by soundbites on TV or vague, unrealistic promises to keep the status quo in eternity. I agree that some kind of job mobility is required in the long run; the real question is how much of it is needed. I hope the answer is not "a lot", especially among those who have or earn less.
