A huge part of the problem of unemployment in the developed world is the
automation of work that used to be done by well-paid human labor.
Hundreds of employees replaced by a few robots, machines that do the
work tens of times faster than a human.
Many (most?) of the people who did those jobs for the first 20-40 years
of their working lifetime have little if any education for today's jobs
operating, building, and maintaining that equipment. At 74, I've been
retired for about 7 years. My wife, 72, retired three years ago,
primarily because of hand surgery. We've talked about working today, and
agree that we would have a hard time getting hired at any decent job in
today's world, not because the jobs aren't there, but because our fields
have moved on, and we haven't. I have a BSEE, she's a PhD.

## Well you could work for Fair rite as a type 31 sales manager. Or better
yet,
visit their new plant in China, where they make all these products, and figure
out
why they have such extremes and variations in their type 31 cores since the
chinese
plant opened. N3RR bought over 700 of em, 2.4 inch od cores, and found they
are all over the map, and even sent samples to Fair rite. Bill ended up
devising a
simple 1 turn test, then graded all 700 of em into various sub groups. No
wonder the
initial CMC results were not repeatable.
