Tough talk on U.S. workers is true - By Ruben Navarrette, Alameda Times-Star, CA
WHAT HAS happened to Americans? Once a proud people, many of us are now so thin-skinned that it's easy to get our feelings hurt.
As when someone says there are jobs that Americans won't do at any wage, or that many of us lack a work ethic, or that young people in particular make lousy employees because they take themselves too seriously and don't take work seriously enough.
That's essentially the kind of straight talk Labor Secretary Elaine Chao recently dished out to Parade magazine. Chao said that American workers could lose jobs to foreign workers -- and not just because the latter often work for lower wages. It's more than that, she said: Foreign workers often have better skills, and better manners.------------------------------------------- posted 6:00 AM :: reference link ::
