Almost any chemical and mechanical engineering laboratory support job, including basic machining you could imagine I have experience in. Basically, my job was eliminated but an identical job was created that I have applied for. Catch is, a) it isn't certain I will get it (despite nothing but positive remarks from my supervisor) and b) it wont start for a little while even if it do get it. It is what it is. I'm by no means in dire straights. Thankfully i have a supportive family and no debt. I'm just one of those guys that needs to have a job to feel valid. Im also an eternal optimist (regardless of what my angry tirades may indicate) thank you for the thoughts, all. updates to follow i guess :) I’ve been working as a lab tech, D.

So the jobs will, objectively, go away. That's a tough nut for mere politicians to crack.

A wheelwright and a train engineer are both jobs that support the transport of manufactured goods. Your great grandpa was able to get that engineer job because manufacturing was expanding at an incredible rate. Nowadays we can't even get companies to hire C++ programmers for Java jobs. Well, many of them won’t, donviti. My great grandfather was a wheelwright before he got a job as an engineer on the trains. Our economy is changing faster than that.

I was hoping to see job gains instead of losses. This recovery is slow. We desperately need another stimulus. Not really a great report. I was hoping to see job gains instead of losses.
