Everyone seems to be worried about the job positions available, there seems to be less and less work available, and I'm not talking about fast food restaurants and minimum wage jobs. The jobs people are concerned about are the higher paying construction jobs in the oilfield and heavy equipment.
Most people are complaining that it's the immigrants we let into this country that are "stealing" our jobs. Nobody "steals" jobs, they are assessed and hired, and while it may be true that letting foreign people into the country is going to lessen the work available for our current residents, there is another factor we have to take into consideration.
Women are striving for equalization here as well, that means that jobs that were predominantly male oriented now have women working in those positions. This of course means that those positions are gone for men to work, hence less work for males.
With this change in our society does this mean that there will be more stay at home dads? Will men be able to stay home and take care of the house while their wives are out making the money for the household? Will men raise the children, clean the house, do laundry, and still fix and repair everything else?
Will women accept the fact that they now have to share their paycheck with their spouses, pay for repairs, clothes, food, bills, and mortgages. With the switch from males who are the main care provider to the women, both sexes will be able to see what it's like to walk a mile in the other sexes shoes. It may turn out for the best or it could change the way we live in the future, children will be raised differently ten they have been in the past, and future generations may become vastly different from what they are now.
Only Time Will Tell.
