Our country now is in need of the jobs that were outsourced to other countries, unfortunately I don't see an easy way to bring them back to the U.S.A. The congress could pass an unemployment extension that would last 1 year, and include training and job placement even if it means government project development. Let's see if congress really has a concern in the direction of where the country will go after the next session in November.
