Which country are you talking about?
The one that is 60% manufacturing and export driven?
Or the one that is 60% service and foreign debt driven?
Both are in trouble right now. Given the choice, I think I would rather have the option of finding new buyers for the goods I produce than be at the mercy of the few countries that will buy bonds to finance my debt addiction. |

On 99% of message boards, it is against TOS to do so--it's copyright infringement. Usually you can post less than a paragraph. But as we are in copyright-plagiarism heaven, maybe no one cares.
Is it really that difficult to click once? |

The US is not at anyone else's mercy really. Countries like Korea need us to buy their junk to stay alive, they need us more than we need them. The fact that Korea is a far more protectionist country than the US is ample proof of this (and part of the reason US manufacturing firms are in the trouble they're in to begin with). |

Labour Force Survey January 2009
Employment fell by 129,000 in January (-0.8%), almost all in full time, pushing the unemployment rate up 0.6 percentage points to 7.2%. This drop in employment exceeds any monthly decline during the previous economic downturns of the 1980s and 1990s.
The loss in January follows other declines in recent months. Since October, employment has fallen by 213,000 (-1.2%), the result of full-time losses...
Canada's three largest provinces accounted for the entire employment decrease in January. While just over half of employment losses were in Ontario (-71,000), there were also large declines in both British Columbia (-35,000) and Quebec (-26,000). Employment was little changed in all other provinces.

Employment fell mostly among core-age adults, 25 to 54 years, as well as among youths aged 15 to 24. |
