=======================================
Some of them will highly likely design that clothing.
It is the reality of the 21st century ; the wages in the developed world's
manufacturing industry ,especially in the low skills sector ,are too high
compared with those in developing countries.
In the years to come it will be even more difficult to compete when the
general skills level in the developing countries will enable people
overthere to do the design as well.
We in the devloped world will be able to survive provided we can reduce
our cost and widen the services sector.
In the UK there is a lack of skilled workers in a number of sectors
involving manual work .
I understand that in the London area accountants and lawyers attend
evening classes in plumbing........that says it all.
The key to solving the developed world's employment woes is ..........job
flexibility and removing excessive job demarcation.
An example of the latter is development of the oil/gas industry in Western
Australia where at the time the drivers of trucks transporting supplies to
a construction yard could drive the vehicle with its load up to the gate
,whereafter ANOTHER driver employed inside the yard had to take over
,moving the goods a few 100 metres to its destination and returning the
empty truck to the gate ,before the 'outside the gate' driver could get
his truck back.
This happened in the 1980s ...........I wonder whether these practices
have changed 20 years later ;))
