Where are the jobs going* In the two years following the Wall Street Meltdown, U.S. corporations laid off 500,000 people in the U.S. and hired 729,000 people overseas. When did this trend start? It started in the Late 1970’s when Jack Welch (where is he now?) argued American Corporations owed their primary allegiance to the stockholders, not the employees. *“The Week,” 25 March 2011

Another Disclaimer Users of these data should not assume that the difference between the projected in- crease in the labor force and the projected increase in employment implies a labor shortage or surplus. Employment and labor force measures differ in concept. Employ- ment is a count of jobs, and persons who hold more than one job would be counted for each job. Labor force is a count of individuals, and a person is counted only once regardless of how many jobs he or she holds. In addition, the BLS projections assume a labor market in equilibrium, that is, one where labor supply meets labor demand except for some degree of frictional unemployment. For a discussion of the basic projection methodology, see "Employment projections, 2008-18," Kristina Bartsch, November 2009 Monthly Labor Review.
