It's important that there be jobs for people without much education This is a critical point that most people just glaze over. Actually, I would refine your statement to be "Its important that there are jobs for people on the left side of the bell curve". That's really what the issue is when you get down to it. Half of the population is above average in intelligence and general ability. And half the population is below average. To have any sort of sustainable society there needs to be opportunity for those below average to be able to live decent lives. Offshoring jobs is the single biggest problem in this regard. Many, many middle class jobs with decent/good pay are continuously offshored, especially if they are office jobs because most office jobs can generally be performed from anywhere. I've seen many cases where there are 1-2 highly paid US employees that manage oversees teams in India, Singapore, etc. The problem with that (other than the obvious) is how does one gain the experience to be in those higher paid jobs if you are a US citizen? All the entry level jobs are oversees being managed by someone who was around before the offshoring.
