You're right. Sorry. And the same should be said for the world with free trade. The loss of a given job to outsourcing is not a certainty either.
Who are "they"?
It's always presented as short-term dislocation rather than long-term loss. Maybe not in detail, but in broad-brush stroke.
Oh, okay. That's certainly true. Some of that, I suspect, probably depends on where the worker is located. If he's in Flint, Michigan, a new job with comparable pay might not be coming to the area. If he lives in New York, he probably has a better shot of getting back on his feet quickly. New York is also, obviously, much wealthier than Michigan, and can better afford to help people.
