Should US workers fear foreign competition?

Answer 1

Fear is probably the wrong word, "strongly consider" might be better. US workers should look to see what kinds of competition they may face from workers in other countries and whether or not these foreigners can serve as competition. The likelihood of possible replacement usually decreases the more skilled a particular job is and the more location-tied (like mining) a job is.

Answer 2

US workers should not necessarily fear foreign competition, but they should be aware of the potential impact it can have on their job security and wages. Globalization and technological advances have made the job market more interconnected and globally competitive. However, workers can adapt by developing skills that are in high demand and continuously upgrading their knowledge and expertise to stay competitive in the global economy. Government policies can also play a role in supporting workers through retraining programs and ensuring fair trade practices.
