When thousands of people get dumped out of their jobs a factory at a time, it's hard for all of those people to enter colleges. They are usually looking to find another job so they can pay their bills.
The "better" jobs these people usually get are lateral moves from a line to a cubicle, assuming they are computer literate. Or worse they end up at Wal-Mart. |
Do you have any evidence to back up these claims? Saying that the people that have lost their jobs 'usually' go straight to a cubicle or straight to Wal-Mart? How can you determine the motives of thousands of people?
Maybe they were able to get a loan on their college tuitions. Maybe not.
Maybe they got tired of working the way they did and decided they wanted to make a change and open up a small buisness? No, of course not, because everyone in your view is indeed illiterate and needs help. Specifically from the gov't. The gov't should provide people with jobs, homes, health-care, househeld computers, etc to keep up with the rest of society.
Maybe, they immediately found another good-paying job that was better than the last.
