if you get training and luck out into the trade of the month. companies used to take people with basic skills and then train them for the specialized skills they wanted. now they dont want to invest in developing people

So close to my hometown - Kalimpong. Memories, the troubled times, jobs going away and finally moving to a far alien land. I guess it happens everywhere.

Gonna be honest this is one of those songs that makes you think about things that happened years ago. It's quite amazing how a song that is completely unrelated to you, make you think about the good and bad memories of your childhood, it's very powerful. Thats how I see it.

After reading a lot the the comments below: Of course, Bruce is making a comment about the grim reality of certain cities and towns losing their identity from loss of industry and jobs. But I really don't believe he's trying to make a political statement. This is a beautiful, emotional ballad about the attachment people have to their communities. My original hometown was Truro IA; and like a lot a small farm towns; it essentially vanished when the agricultural and economic climate changed since the 70's. It's a sad loss, but not necessarily an indictment of any system. Just fiscal reality, and evidence that the world is always changing. Certainly, the US has shipped a ton of manufacturing jobs overseas; and there is a more than a little "indicting" due around that. But if you listen to this tune and find a reason to get riled about economic policy and partisan politics, I think you're rather missing the point of the song.

I remember seeing Bruce in Toronto touring on the Born in the USA album, sold out 3 nights in a row I think. Great memories.

This song is so relevant today. The Boss reigns supreme.

Hank Rearden

Melcher, IA...I think the world he's singing about really started to hit there in the early 90's.

what Springsteen is singing about are the lost jobs in the the steel mills, textiles, auto etc.however, today there are plenty of jobs in the knowledge industry like in the high tech sector; there are lots of jobs in the oil & gas sector as well. in fact there are plenty of these jobs available in America, but there are not enough Americans who have the skills to fill these positions. so don't lament, go get yourself some skills and get yourself a good job.

Check out this video on YouTube: can't believe this record came out in the halcyon days of my youth! 1985 seems so long ago...

Rebecca Rushing

Amazing sound

This song makes me misty eyed. It's so true. Look at what's happened to industrial America today and all the jobs lost. Towns and cities all over the country are like this, boarded up store fronts and it seems no one wants to come here anymore. The jobs are gone and they're not coming back. How true.

This song is from around 1984, 'morning in America," and all that crap. Thirty years later, it seems like the schematic for the Raygoon's off-shoring of USer industry, jobs, and prosperity.
