If we(the US) were smart, we'd put more money and effort into technology based education. There is a global need and shortage for good programmers, and it's the emerging countries that are keen to this. But most employers want in house staff, so that leaves a huge gap for the rest of the developed nations.
The jobs are out there, I just think a lot of the unemployed are also obsolete in their skills. Education is too expensive, and now they're allowing illegal immigrants to enter college, taking space away from legitimate tax payers or their kids. Fuck the corporate stimulus, we need money in the educational system.
