"Remember, adds Mr. Jones, "a big chunk of the African-American community is economically stranded. The blue-collar, stepping-stone, manufacturing jobs are leaving. And they're not being replaced by anything. So you have this whole generation of young blacks who are basically in economic free fall." Green-collar retrofitting jobs are a great way to catch them."

Rajan: "The other striking point is the concept of blue-collar jobs as a stepping stone to upwards social mobility. Outsourcing of blue collar jobs can have an heave impact on the poorest sections of society. The state has to enable them to get education more easily. Thats a really tough problem to solve for the elected representatives."
