The article informs that because Wimhrope's layoff can be pegged to the company's sending widget making skills overseas, he qualifies for some righteous benefits. How does 104 weeks of new job training, relocation assistance, income support, health benefits and much more sound? It was 1962 when the Kennedy administration signed off on the first TAAA. The act's passage acknowledged that the government owed workers extra assistance when their jobs were lost because of national trade policies. The catch in 1962, as it still is today, is that you qualify for TAAA goodies only if you're involved in the making of a thing. In 1962, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 40% of working Americans were engaged in manufacturing; they were the mighty core of a U.S. economy that was opening its doors to cheaper imports. Trying to measure the effect of imported services on a single sector, such as IT, isn't going to be easy. Indeed, a Government Accountability Office study released in September was inconclusive about whether an IT service-sector labor problem exists (www.gao.gov/new.itema/d04 932.pdf).
