"While still a small trend, it is a growing and good one. African college graduates have access to jobs that pay $200-$500 per week, in countries where most people don't make this money in a year. It expands the consumer markets in these countries, which can help countries like USA. Companies get qualified workers for lower costs, which will increase jobs for Africa. Countries like USA can then focus our energies on sectors where we have a competitive advantage - which is innovation. Of course, French unions are getting nervous - which is why France's economy will continue to stagnate while others grow, because it doesn't focus on what the French do best at the lowest cost."This is a useful reminder for us who actually believe in free trade. When the Unions and other lefty pressure groups talk of jobs being lost over here and poor people in other countries being exploited by evil corporations - remember they are not thinking at all about the welfare of those foreign nationals - only about the political power that comes with running a union.
But Crispus, what the French do best is surrender - you can't make a living off that. Maybe they could offer their services as references to evil dictators, like an unscrupulous movie-critic who sells blurbs - there could be money in that, and it would all be government run and financed, which should suit the French statists.
