1. reduce all automated, electronic, computer, robot development and operation
2. shorten working hours and increase people leisure living environment (European countries already have implemented a four-day work week, 8 hours per day system)
3. control birth rate and immigration
4. give allowance to Americans to travel abroad or work as volunteers (some countries in Europe have already done so) this will not only gain the appreciation for the Americans from the world. But also to let Americans know that there are still so many poor people in the word need help!
If the unemployment problems can be not solved.,then do not blame the low cost of Chinese imported goods. In fact cheap Chinese goods are great help to the lives of Americans especially for the poor black.
The computer and automation system company are likely to be blamed for the cause of high jobless which the the authority should be concerned .


美国失业的原因
美国新总统奥巴马宣布二年内将为美国增加250万个新工作单位。能够解决美国的失业问题吗?有关当局也许应该关注一些失业的实际因果,才能对症下药!
1998年未来学专家威廉·W·温辟辛格在他的书(征服未来)中指出:“2030年以后只需要世界现有劳动力的2%来进行生产就能满足所有人需要的产品。”
如果他的预计正确,美国每年平均会减少3%人力的需要。他的依据可能是基于世界科学科技在不停的进步,部分人力被电子、电脑、自动化、无人化操作和机器人等所代替,纽约州很快就要出现无人驾驶的的士了!再加上生育和移民没有节制使人口增长偏高。
在这种情况之下,奥巴马计划提供的250万个新工作单位,恐怕还是很难解决美国的失业问题。
除非美国考虑实行下列几点建议:
1、停止一切自动化、电子化、电脑化、机器人等的研究和作业。
2、缩短工作时间,增加人们的休闲生活环境。(欧洲有些国家已实行每周工作四天,每天8小时的制度)
3、有效控制人口增长率和限制移民条例。
4、津贴美国人出国旅游或当义工(北欧已有国家这样做了)。这种行为不但可以争取世人对美国的好感,也能够让美国人知道世界上还有那么多的穷人需要相关的救济。
如果失业问题解决不了,也不要把原因归咎于便宜的中国入口货。只有便宜的中国入口货,才能减轻美国人的生活负担,尤其是比较贫穷的黑人。
其实,电脑公司和生产自动化设备的企业才是造成美国人失业的主要原因。
因此,要真正解决美国的失业问题就必需认真考虑实行上面的几点建议。

Hello Liu,
Your proposal does not make sense because:
1)to get rid of automation and use more manpower means lost of productivity.In other words,unit labour cost will rise
2)Shortened work week has been tried in France and it is not working.France unemployment rate has remained stubbornly high.
3)Sending Americans abroad does not solve the unemployment problem.You are assuming that these Americans are able to be gainfully employed abroad.It is ridiculous to give allownace to Americans to go oveseas.where will the money come from?US is currently having a budget deficit close to 6% of its GDP and it will get worse with the govt.'s current injection of funds under the TARP to forstall a financial meltdown.
4)the fertlity rate of US based on 2007 figure is 2.0 .In other words,it is able to replace itself at this rate.However,i agree that it should reduce illegal immigration,most of which orignates south of the border from Mexico.But there is a positive side to this source of illegal immigration because it provides cheap labour for farmers in California and Arizona,and for menial work that Americans do not want to do.
US is a country made up of immigrants and it is from this source that most of its intellectual and entrepeneurial strength and depth is derived and it helps to make the country what it is today.
Your ideas do not make economic sense and will not work.

Hi, Robert.
Less job and less work is the trend
of the whole world due to more advanced of computerize and automation ,US to face higher jobless situation is unavoidable
its much cheaper and better way to
subsidized their poeple to travel and do volunteer works overseas than to send its military around the world.

Hello Liu,
Do not be confused increased productivity with less job opportunities.It is not a zero sum game.If it this there will be high employment in Singapore as well.
You are assuming that workers are not upgrading and that jobs are not created by application of new technology.
Do not forget that being in the armed forces is a means of employment.Do not confuse foreign policy with unemployment.
Your proposal does not make economic sense!!!
Rovert.
Time will tell you there will be work less and enjoy more for the human being and the US will be the leading country in this age should they follow my advised.

Hello Liu,
Time will tell many things.Do not forget that other countries' economies are also under unprecedented pressure although the financial crisis orginated in the US.This shows how dependent we are in this globalised world.
You are spending lots of time in China.Undoubtedly,its economy is under lots of pressure mainly due to exports falling off the cliff.That is why the Chinese govt has proposed a US$586 billion stimulus package in the hope that local demand will offset declining exports.
Deleveraging,after such a finacial binge in the US and EU,is a painful process.It is still in progress despite unprecedented cash infusion by the US Fed and Treasury.High unemployment is a consequence of this process.
The way forward is to stop falling house prices.Once this is in place,MBS' and other derivatives based on real estate assets will begin to stablise.The Fed is trying to lower mortage rates in the US;recently these have fallen but not enough to stimulate more demand for houses.The Fed will be doing more.
Americans will have to save more and spend less.Its current account deficit is unstainable in the long run.
It must do back to its strength ie high level research that can be translated into commercialization;its superiority in IT and related applications and its entrepeneurial drive that created Silicon Valley.
Its financial services sector must be better regulated without the unintended constraints that will make them uncompetitive.It must stay away from financial innovations that allow exposures to exceptional risks that even regulators do not understand.
It will take awhile before the US reshape its economy but like PM Lee said we should not understimate its "innate restorative power".It is still the largest ecomomy power globally.
Hi Robert,
You are seem to have a lot of good knowledge on present economic situation,why dont you get your own blog to express it.
Whereas my topic in this page is to analized the US unemployment problems and give my suggestion for them to solve it.
Should you have any other better ideas please state your view.

economic sense and sensibility
Hi there. One important guy said in a recession go and spend more have your regular spa!Another important guy said..be careful if you spend and the money gets out of the country.then you are in trouble. Another important guy said US should consume less and save more..which means more unemploymnent? Who is right and who is wrong? What is the economic sens?
Hi Anonymous,
My suggestion to:
The America and Americans.
-Spend whatever you made.
-Don't over spend on your future
made.
-Spend whatever you need and do
not waste.
-Americans spend and waste too
much!
Only 3% of world population and consumed almost 50% of world productions,therefore America and Americans must spend less. Otherwise can never get rid of their in debt problems both the country and the people.
Mr Liu,For me to start my own blog will not solve your problem.In order to convince Americans your proposals must be based on sound logic and reflective of the current global economic configuration.
Proposals based on primarily on emotional inputs will not hold water with anyone let alone your target audience.
Robert
