    OK, so one of the kids bought ATT instead of the other way around. That doesn't change the fact that many of the "baby bells" that were spun off in a court order are somehow magically back together again.

    Clandestino, I'm fully aware of what the EU is. What I want to know, is how exactly are they going to kill us. What marketplaces are they going to go after? The American marketplace is the number one marketplace in the world!

Even as overall hiring is picking up and economic growth remains strong, industries are transforming at a rapid pace as they adjust to intense compe ion, technological change and other pressures.

    That means skilled jobs can quickly become obsolete, while others are outsourced. Educated workers are increasingly subject to the job insecurities and disruptions usually plaguing blue-collar laborers, but various factors make it even harder for some educated workers to get back into the workforce quickly. Though a college education is still one of a worker's best assets, it's no guarantee that a worker's skills will match demands of a shifting job market....

    The number of long-term unemployed who are college graduates has nearly tripled since the bursting of the tech bubble in 2000, statistics show. Nearly 1 in 5 of the long-term jobless are college graduates. If a degree holder loses a job, that worker is now more likely than a high school dropout to be chronically unemployed....
