Yes, exactly. Although we didn't know it, we in the Western world have been using our wealth, accumulated throughout the first part of the 20th century, to allow us to do the "nice" jobs and outsource the dirty work to Asia.

Where, indeed, will all these people be employed? It's going to be a big problem. Thankfully, Australia is relatively well placed, given our large resource base and small population. I'd hate to be in the UK.
