Coorporations do not have endless pockets to hire new labor. At some point, someone needs to do a study to determine what is better for the economy, a 24yr old father being employed or a 67 yr old man with health issues. It is much more complex than thinking that working from home or from remote offices will solve the problem.

I've wondered the same thing many times, and more often recently as I have been reading various reports of scientific analysis suggesting the brain gets better, with age, at recognizing patterns and addressing problems and issues with experience and practice at thinking, etc. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/20/health/research/20brai.html?em&ex=1211515200&en=6b45984e523a9f97&ei=5087%0A" rel="nofollow">Older Brain Really May Be a Wiser Brain</a> Great post, Joe.
