How many job and internship positions are really out there?

I was talking to a friend today who got a internship in China and he was basically saying that there are much more job openings and internship openings in China because China is still growing and producing NEW jobs, whereas America has stopped growing and reached its limit, therefore the only job openings left are jobs that have been around for a long time, only left open at times when people quit or retire; meaning there are no new jobs created. Does this mean that job prospects will probably not pick up and we should seek abroad for growing job opportunities?

Reminded me of this: "I personally believe the U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh...people out there in our nation don't have maps, and, uh, I believe that our education like such as South Africa and, uh, the Iraq everywhere like, such as and...I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., err, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our..."

 

there's currently 132 job openings, pretty competitive.

I don't accept sacrifices and I don't make them. ... If ever the pleasure of one has to be bought by the pain of the other, there better be no trade at all. A trade by which one gains and the other loses is a fraud.
