US News recently reported that graduates from two year technical schools would stand to do better than the traditional four year college grad for the next decade(or more).
No bailout or administrative change can help the US.
A country that imports more than it exports is not a country with job growth.

There are layoffs in the offshore oil industry throughout the UK just now as well. I know for a fact that a lot of people working for a huge international company have all just received "at risk" letters.
