Job Loss in State of Ohio
In the State of Ohio, as many of us know a growing epidemic is growing, job loss. Each day a hard-working, blue collar employee is turned away at the doors from his or hers job, where that particular person may have built their careers. Unfortunately, a slow down has not occurred and it continues across the nation and most importantly here in the state of Ohio at an alarming rate. Many people, including myself faulted trade acts such as NAFTA or CAFTA for the phenomenon, but in recent research perhaps those two actions aren’t entirely at fault. Trade acts such as NAFTA have focused primarily on workings with Mexico or Canada, but yet jobs are moving for the most part overseas. Countries such as China and Japan are moving in production at an incredible rate, taking that very production away from the industrial Midwest right here in the United States. Jobs have moved to Mexico in small numbers as well and trade acts deserve some blame for that, but the ultimate blame should be put on technology. Technology, as we all know is the future of the world. Everything is speeding up, from factories to computers. In return, computers and machines are doing blue collar peoples duties in a factory or workplace right here in Ohio. With technology, presses and lines can be sped up with quicker tools to accomplish the job. So the next you or I have a conversation about the incredible job loss in the State of Ohio, or across this nation, remember to put technology at the top of that argument.
This editorial helps me get focused upon the whole research paper and re-solidify my interest in this topic. The editorial also helped me start thinking about the outline of my paper, along with how I would perhaps write some of my paragraphs.
