Perhaps comedian Steven Wright said it best:
“I lost my job the other day. Well, I didn’t really lose it. I know where it’s at, it’s just when I go there someone else is doing it.”

In today’s economy where layoffs and a bleak job market are the norm, the joke has lost a great deal of it’s humor. But a good look at the data proves Steven’s point — all those jobs are still there, it’s just that employers are finding more qualified, more efficient, and more cost-effective help.

Chicago O’Hare Airport
In 2006 United Airlines Flight 1015 was picking up speed while rolling down the runway at Chicago O’Hare. But at around 10 p.m. on that clear summer evening the pilots saw something heart-stopping on the runway: an Atlas Air 747 cargo plane moving directly into its path.
