whip out your crystal ball. you may need it forsee the the future.  depending on what your skill or expertise, you may be able to find work in Australia regardless.  Quit listening to the media and just get out there and look for a job.  you can't believe everything you hear these days.

Mostly it's where the clothing is made.  The whole sweat shop issue.  Also the fact tthat most clothing is now imported.  Those jobs have gone overseas.

There is no more "American made" all manufacturing is done in China  or Korea or some place were labor is cheap.

over a hundred year period, America will cease to be the global force that it is today, the chances of Australia taking its place are slim. \n\nThe contenders at the moment seem to be a United Europe, China and India.

I just got a email from a friend regarding Australia. They are having some immigrant Muslim problems. The radicals are getting out of hand. The government and citizen are dealing with it. One signs said" if you don't like our language, culture and laws get the hell out". \nA few years back they had a real Chinese illegal problem ships dumping of them. They dealt with it rather fast.They cut out chain immigration better now as family unification.\n\nThat is as much as I know on this new immigration anti terrorist issue, but I think that is about as much information that one will get. Most will probably be opinion depending on their side. I have no agenda.

You'd be better off it you stayed in your country and imported us. made products. It is going to be cheaper in the long run. You'll make much more capital.

Australia's economy has been doing well in the last few years, resulting in many new jobs... \n\nIn particular, there's many open jobs in health care (doctors, nurses), engineering, mining, and travel/tourism.

What type of manufacturing are you talking about.  what industry?

I believe if America keeps doing focusing on fighting with Iran and Iraq then another country (China or Japan) is going to be the most industrailized and richest. Also, the world is going to be so globalized, we are going to be outsourcing every job possible to keep prices down and to make the big buisnesses even bigger.

China is not only growing at an incredible pace in industry and trade, but it is beginning to exercise more power all over the world.  Right now, China has interests in almost every corner of the world, including heavy involvement in world ports and other trade routes.  The problem with China is that it is right now opening its doors to everyone and everyone is opening its doors to them.  It does not seem like a threat... but, at the same time, it is selling arms to Iran and North Korea and spending huge amounts on its military.  There are old scars between Japan and China.  There are present conflicts with Taiwan.  Both could involve the US, against Chinese interests... I believe they are holding off on flexing their muscle until they have grown larger in economic and military dominance.  It is coming... the only thing that saves us, besides the fact that we are right now the only superpower, is that we are also their best customer.  Someday, their economy will be the greatest in the world and they will have more influence in world matters than the US... we will become another France or Germany, still strong but not the big boy on the block.  \nAs far as India, they will have a great economy but it is further away and they are not as interested in world dominance as the Chinese are.   \nStart learning Mandarin.

One might think that China would fit the bill. Certainly as an economic power house this would seem to be so but along with the economic advantages come the huge population and problems with different cultures unified temporarily under mow. I believe the country will be torn apart by feuding between wealthy political groups. The great divide between rich and poor is far more advanced than outsiders normally perceive..\n\nI believe provided Australia tightens up its migration pro gramme and actively encourages non Muslim educated migrants it will be the world leader in the future. For its population it si already the cleverest country. There is little poverty. A working family can easily afford to own there own home 3 bed and a garden. Australians have a strong sense of justice and an equally strong work ethic and common sense. There are more natural resources per head of population than any other country in the world. The legal system though not perfect is freer of politics than the US. They have three tiers of government most elected every three years. Potentially anyone can stand for parliament and they are not afraid of jailing dishonest politicians. The premier of Western Australia was jailed for corruption in the 1980's. It is a fair free country.

China, Australia and India. Due to cheap labour and Australia's abundance of natural resources.

No shitt, it's just the big wigs trying to compete with china's cheap labor at the expense of our country's values.\nI'm sick of it. I think any company doing this should be shut down and the owners prosecuted

Here is what is going to happen: there will be so many people working for 10c a day that eventually our way of life in the US will be affected by causing reductions in the costs of everything.  What was once $100 will become $1.00 or less. So I would envision a situation like this: if you have a monthly mortgage payment of $1,200 you go to the lender and say that because so many people in communist China are working for 10c a day and we can't compete with that, we must lower my mortgage payment to $ 1.98 instead of $1,200. This will not go over too well, but since we will all be making 10c a day there will be no choice.\n\nHoardes of poverty-striken slave workers in China are hardly going the be the Next Big Revolution.  Before this ridiculous scenario develops I think China will implode upon itself. This is why the Chinese government tries to prohibit contact with the outside world, so it can keep the people in chains.\n\nTo equate China with quality products is a non-computable concept.  Starving slave laborers do not make quality products.  English will be banned by the government and anyone who attempts to speak it will be shot.  End of that argument.

Do some research on suppliers in China first. Prepare yourself a list of standard questions to ask, FOB pricing, minimum order quantity, etc etc.
