As the quote goes, "I've never gotten a job from a poor person."

Guess what? The rich have taken them overseas. So you won't get one from a rich person, either.

Why? Any idea why the jobs have left? There must be a reason.

So they ALL, uniformly, showed "Unmitigated Greed"?

Or is it more likely, due to the uniformity of their action, that the conditions for making profit here in the United States was comprimised by unions and high labor rates, high taxes, excessive regulation, and the like?

Greed would be the pursuit of excessive profit, right? But stable and substantial profits at some level must be made if a company is to stay in business.

They moved the work to where it is profitable. It was that or go out of business.

Clueless.... How is that strategy of "Moving Work where it is profitable" working out for the economy now Joey? How is it working out for the housing recovery Joey? High Taxes Joey? Most pay NONE... Corporations have a duty to employ citizens of the country in which they operate.

Nope. They made plenty of profit. Our economy has boomed for years. They just wanted more.

How much in taxes did the Top Ten richest companies in the United States pay last year, Joey? There are many charts and news articles - just google and post it here.

Yes. But not illegals and undocumented workers as your projects do.

I have no control over the contractors that work on the same projects I work on. They hire the way they feel they need to. As for my company, we have hired 5 people all Americans and college graduates (crazy right?) in the last 16 months all while the sky is falling.
Perhaps cream rises to the top.
Glad your business is able to help out too!
