Four groups in America were polled about their impressions of China -
1. General Public
2. Opinion Leaders
3. Congressional Staff
4. Business Leaders
One question they were asked was
Please indicate whether you believe the loss of US manufacturing and technical jobs to the following questions is severe.
Nearly 50% of each group think loss of jobs to China is most severe.
General Public (52%)
Congressional Leaders (51%)
Business Leaders (48%)
Opinion Leaders(46%)
The two other countries where Americans think they have lost a big portion of their jobs are India and Mexico.
India is blamed by Business leaders (35%) to Opinion Leaders (41%).
Mexico is blamed by Business leaders (16%) to General Public (36%).
Union households (57%) were not much more apt to blame China than the general public (52%).
Nor were Americans who lost jobs (56%) much more apt to blame China than the general public (52%).
America is losing jobs and everyone wants to blame someone. Perhaps Americans should take a look in the mirror.
What do you think?

America is a country of greed. Everyone wants to make more money then the next; however, the more money we make the more we have to spend. People do not take into consideration that if the company they work for pays a higher wage then they have to raise their prices on good sold. Companies are run by people so of course they want to make as much money as they can as well. So they out-source their jobs because Americans want to high of a wage, in order to pay for the products and service that companies offer. It is not the fault of China, Mexico or India that Americans have such a high greed factor.
