What are the new emerging industries in the USA?

[bleedingheart]

what industry is emerging right now that will help employ Americans who lose their jobs to outsourcing?

I am not the inventor type but I sure hope some people are working at creating jobs because our country is hemorrhaging jobs.

My company is looking to outsource thousands of jobs overseas... so this is no joking matter.

1. biotech

My guess is biotech is the next big boom area...but not sure it will create the 100's of thousands of jobs needed to get all those unemployed IT types back to work.

[bleedingheart]

8. Biotech and Healthcare aren't going to support enough people

plus healthcare is also hemorrhaging money...they want cheap labor to help keep costs down.

2. Food Banks

5. Rumor has it that health care is the "emerging industry"

...apparently we are all going to provide medical care to one another.

I feel for you. I got my notice in May that my job was going away. Only 7 weeks to go before I join the ranks of the unemployed.

[bleedingheart]

6. I have more time...

my boss estimates a year before my job goes overseas...and I work in a highly specialized area...which is even scarier for the economy since there are only three of us who do what we do for our company.

But hey...someone in India will be able to do my job for a tenth of what I make...

15. Outsourcing to India...

A recent post here linked to an article in The India Times which reported that the Chimp Admin. had reassured India that they would fight against the efforts of many US States to limit outsourcing of IT jobs to India.
Yes, Chimpy will not rest until every American has work. Never mind if that work happens to be cutting grass or serving fast food. Cheap labor, more profit for his bo$om buds.

21. Well you see, according to Bush and my representative...

Asshole Mr. Fucktard Rep. Shit4Brains George Nethercutt, the reason so many jobs are going overseas is the lack of qualified people to fill the jobs in the IT sector.

If by qualified, they mean highly technically educated and willing to work for pennies a day, then yes, there is shortage of "qualified" people in the United States.

17. Disappearing It Jobs and Intellectual Property

Just curious if there's a link there somewhere, in addition to regular bottom-line cutting.

19. My company is looking to create new jobs in India

not just outsource existing jobs.
one senior VP doesn't want to look at any plans for development unless they involve outsourcing...

7. McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, Subway, etc. . . . n/t

10. Probably

LOL.

9. Building communities

I know, we don't even know how to build our own communities all that well, but still.

If globalizing continues and especially if Bush gets elected and continues his rampage around the world, there will be a need for specialists in community building. And we do need that at home as well anyway.

I don't exactly know what that means, but I think if somebody did, they'd have a business of some sort. There's all kinds of needs when creating functioning communities.

18. Yes, specifically, Ecological Design, the 'New Wealth' ...

will come from low-tech clean-water, living roof, edible landscape,

and sustainable energy production.


Rising Transportation costs should also create pressure towards

local production of textiles again as well as local building materials.

[bleedingheart]

20. I am seriously hoping that ecological industries will be the

new tech sector...

[sandnsea]

22. very interesting ideas

I was actually thinking more along the lines of the social structure of developing communities because that's my nature, but you're ideas are great and right on target. More self-sustaining homes and businesses. I love the idea of edible landscapes and if I weren't so lazy that's exactly what I'd have!! I've looked at a few garden examples in magazines and have always found it intriguing. Alot of work to try to have various plants year round, but still intriguing.

And one thing... what's a living roof?

11. wal-mart

12. prison system

Busco makes the laws that cause lots of people to be locked up, Busho's friends run the prisons. US has the largest percentage of civilians in prison, now more then ever, still increasing. It is a booming industry.

13. Did anyone see the c-span segment this morning that just

finished with Alan Tonelson of http://www.tradealert.org ?

Alan has written a book called "The Race To The Bottom". I was very impressed by him and plan to e-mail him and thank him for being there.

He was on with dan griswold of cato institute.

It was very good and there were a lot of callers who don't like what is happening in America with the jobs being outscourced overseas! In fact there were no callers repug or Dem who do agree with the cato policy of America going in the tank so the huge corps can make more money.

I recommend going to c-span for a stream if possible.

14. soup kitchens

[htuttle]

16. Freelance Aluminum Reclaimation seems to be becoming very important

And to support that exciting field, several industries will have to grow to support it, such as Shopping Cart Restoration, etc....

If they have their way.
