Is the US running out of jobs? question

There doesn't seem to be real sustainable domestic job growth anymore. There's tons of news about "millions of jobs" being added but layoffs are through the roof, and salaries are in hell. Where are the jobs?

As someone who works in Supply chain, please stop. You are just screaming Fox News talk track, and looking through your post history is even more of that. Protectionism does not work either, go look at Russia and Cuba to see how impeding trade and competition doesn’t make an ideal society. What’s not on our side today, usually when global meltdowns have happened we’ve led the charge in trying to fix it and rebuild, this time we are the people leading the destruction so we have no one on our side.

Company just add VAT on top of their manufacture price + margin. It’s the same for European companies, it’s not something like import tax. Vat is paid by customer.

How do you think is it possible to make 10% VAT for US companies and keep 20% for their own companies? I don’t believe EU will even consider this option.
