There will always be the minority academic dissent. If our society is dilligent and driven, said "lost jobs" will indeed simply become new jobs of a different type. If people aren't serious about aqcuiring new skills or a greater education, this will not happen.

Free trade and globalization are both unstoppable forces and inevitable realities. America can either adapt and thrive or restrict free trade gradually and choke our economy.
