It seems to me that the craze of outsourcing jobs overseas has had a far greater impact on the job market in the United States than illegal immigration.

Well, that and greedy boards of directors.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- U.S. corporate profits have increased 21.3% in the past year and now account for the largest share of national income in 40 years, the Commerce Department said Thursday.

Strong productivity gains and subdued wage growth boosted before-tax profits to 11.6% of national income in the fourth quarter of 2005, the biggest share since the summer of 1966.

For all of 2005, before-tax profits totaled $1.35 trillion, up from $1.16 trillion in 2004 and just $767 billion in 2001.

Meanwhile, the share of national income going to wage and salary workers has fallen to 56.9%. Except for a brief period in 1997, that's the lowest share for labor income since 1966.

Rest of story here.

2. Isn't that girl in the 2nd pic a hooker from Austin?

I don't think she reports everything she earns to the IRS... :eyes:

3. After a 12 pack and a couple of bong hits she might not look too bad!

It really is a shame that she resembles her mother, though. I guess it could be worse -- she could look like her dim witted father!
