North American Expansion A jobs crisis exists. In the last two years, private sector jobs shrank to 109.3 million. More than 2.3 million jobs vanished with hardly a whisper from official Washington. Hardest hit was manufacturing. Thirty straight months of job losses sliced manufacturing jobs to 16.5 million. John F. Kennedy was President of the United States the last time there were so few manufacturing jobs. And America had 100 million fewer people back then! But manufacturing was not alone. Air transport and aerospace layoffs accelerated after 9/11 and continue today. Even government and service payrolls contracted last year. The IAM Journal places this JOBS! crisis on the national agenda. It also explores the policy changes needed to end this crisis, and generate good paying jobs with great benefits . . . for ourselves and our children. Exactly what do we want form America's political leaders? We
want: JOBS! Wroth Fighting For. |
