Outsourcing.
Mechanization of remedial tasks.
Money.
Just flat out not enough jobs?
Reasons for unemployment:
American labor pool is of a quality substantially inferior to the rate of pay they've become accustomed to demanding. Period.
Solutions:
Two are possible:
1. Get use to Chinese rate of pay and work ethics. The Chinese can do it, Americans had better learn to do it or else just admit the Chinese deserves to be able to eat more than we do.
2. Make the labor pool learn how to leverage such infrastructural and technological advantage that remains to us so that while demanding more pay than the Chinese, we also add proportionally more value, not just in our own eyes, but in the eyes of the wallets of those who might buy our wares.
In other words, quite looking for excuses to extract some kind of bandaid subsidy.
