American jobs......what is happening

There more i read the newpapers and watch the news, the more fustrated i become with events happening in our country and around the world.

I just recently got a new job at a parts manufacturing plant here in North Carolina. It has taken me since April to get a decent job. Thank goodness this one i have now came up. I can't even tell you how many applications I filled out, either by hand or online. I also have 2 different resumes depending on the job and many qualifications including but not limited to 2.5 years of college.

Another industrial plant in my town is laying of almost half of its 680 employees and are sending the work that was being done here to Mexico and parts of Asia. This pisses me off to no end.

There are so many hard working people in our society today who are having the hardest time finding and maintaining jobs because so many companies are shipping out to cheaper labor out of the country. How are people supposed to support themselves let alone a family?

Those who are working a job in my area tend to be illegal immigrants who are lying to the government about who they are. I have issues with that as well.

Is there anyone else out there who is seeing these kinds of problems or who have experianced it themselves? I curious to know exactly how big this kind of situation is.
