I'd argue quite strongly that the communities who lost those jobs, do miss them dearly. They have not been replaced, and while you're correct we've lifted billions out of poverty, we've thrown hundreds of millions back into it, with no easy recourse out. Western nations, in general do a piss poor job with people in poverty, as we think ourselves beyond the problems of the third world, at least in the united states, its clearly not true - and dont have the right systems in place to allow folks to either fully participate in the low end of the market, or give them meaningful government assistance. Business right now is frightfully capital intensive - and has a high barrier to entry (paperwork mostly), and in many places there are no jobs available - what is someone to do?
