The Big Squeeze
The Big Squeeze: Tough Times for the American Worker by Steven Greenhouse
My review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
It’s an amazing book. It really made me angrier than usual when you see how every American and immigrant worker (legal or undocumented) in America is treated. I start to wonder what would happen if say a company in a country in Europe (with universal healthcare) were to start seeing how valuable the American workforce could be and started to import some of it’s workers. Which would hopefully lead to more people leaving.
I mean they should seriously think about it. Why should we be loyal to a country and it’s corporations when they do nothing to protect or help us? They outsource and offshore not only manufacturing jobs but also the high-tech jobs which leaves us no chance. Many of us can’t even afford a college education or healthcare anymore. It would be better to pay taxes and support a government that would value its workforce.
