I do agree the jobs aren't coming back, even if you lower taxes. Heck, jobs left by the millions with the Bush cuts. We can't compete with low wages, little regulation, cost of building, little benefits, etc. In a global economy American workers will continue to lose jobs. The last big corporate tax holiday that was supposed to create jobs...didn't, they used the money to send even more jobs overseas. Sadly, our small town once a large mill town is dead, last week another business shut down here, 290 jobs lost, moving overseas.

Regarding skilled trades, some do pay well, but constuction all but died when the economy tanked. The market is so crowded with builders that work goes so cheap, hardly worth bidding these days.
