The Labor Department reports that in the entire United States, the number of people without health insurance the entire year rose to 43.6 million people — an increase of almost 6 percent. It happened as more Americans either lost their jobs, work in jobs that don’t provide health insurance or are the victims of state budget cuts.
A client of mine has had to TRAIN HIS REPLACEMENTS in the last two jobs he has had in the IT industry. Then he was fired from both. One of his replacements was in Singapore, the other in India. After these two experiences, he tells me that he has quit the IT industry forever, he is seeking other employment. The jobs are all going overseas; what a shame.
