Although you might think of the obvious reason for why this is such the case, outsourcing, this article actually mentions one other big reason, poor American education infrastructure. In fact the article states "in some U.S. communities and among certain groups, the high school dropout rate is as high as 50 percent". My jaw dropped when I saw this... We need our future generations to perform better at school and improve the aged public school system structure... Otherwise we will have to resort to attending only private schools just so we have a chance to find the good jobs in the US...
