I will definitely check out the book. I completely agree that manufacturing is one component that will help us recover from the situation we are in. Another major factor is innovation, which will enable us to create products and services that are desired all around the world - remember the personal pc, the web revolution? The BIG question is what's next? Molly - thanks so much for the recommendation. I will definitely check out the book.

America needs to be reminded that manufacturing is what built our economy so many years ago, and that we should look to it once more to drag us out of the economic mess our country is facing. Furthermore, the economic mindset of our government and our business leaders needs to be shifted. The practice of offshoring production has rendered millions of Americans jobless and angry. This book justifies why jobs need to stay on American soil, and how a paradigm shift in business economics is needed to prevent this recession from repeating itself. All in all, I highly recommend this book to anyone who is willing to help bandage up our broken economy.

I would be interested in understandting that better. It seems to me that with the loss of manufacturing jobs over the last 30 years, they have lost much popularity accross the board. And the majority of entry level insurance positions are notorious for their high turnover, the standard process for their highest volume entry level positions is to enter the call center for a year and then move on. They have a rep for turn and burn and for evening shifts. Just saying.... @susan, but is being Gen Y the cause of this feeling or is it simply a correlation to the feeling.

This particular survey pertains only to Gen Y. I suspect that different generations may have different perceptions - an industry that was "hot" twenty years ago might not be now, and yet, it still might be desirable for those college grads. Janet Jimmy,

Thanks for the comment. This particular survey pertains only to Gen Y. I suspect that different generations may have different perceptions - an industry that was “hot” twenty years ago might not be now, and yet, it still might be desirable for those college grads.

Are these results indicative only of one segments feelings or are they more universal to all people in the work force, or all college grads in the workforce?
