Labor - Initial thoughts

Life in America is focused around labor. We are all educated from a very early age. This education allows us to secure a profession later in life. A majority of Americans go to college. In the end, going to college has no other real purpose than allowing people have a successful job. Having a job with a steady pay is a goal that everyone in this country has. Jobs will always be a major topic because they are directly related to our country's economy. When people have jobs, they have money to spend. When they spend that money, it helps the economy. This connection between labor and the economy can be seen in Obama's State of the Union last night. His solutions to our economic crisis in some way always was tied back to labor. This shows that labor will play a role in the near future of America. Labor also has a history though, and it will be interesting to see how labor in th U. S. has chnagesd oer the years.
