February 20 , 2006 -- I read the Dr. Joe column regularly. I have to take issue with his pollyanna conclusions about our economic future.

The BLM released a labor forecast for the next decade and the results are chilling. Of the top 25 jobs only 2 (teaching positions) paid over $30,000 per year. None of the remaining jobs are technical or require higher education.

That excludes economies that are subsidized by government and currencies whose values are not allowed to rise and fall with the market.
