Companies, for example AT&T, used industrial workers in the US, until they found that in Singapore industrial workers would provide the same work for a lesser wage compared to that of the American worker (Reich, 517). Reich 's use of proof is apparent in the example of AT&T. In the example just given, Reich is just stating the facts even though he sounds careless about who the worker is and what country they are from. The end goal is to lower wages and this shows that industrial workers are easily replaced and adds to Reich 's opinions of a figurative analogy given. Reich also states that Singaporeans replaced American AT&T workers for a fraction of the cost and will eventually be replaced by less costly and more productive means, human or otherwise. Reich’s logic shows that with each occurrence another country will follow suite and continue the cycle. Now the relationship formed by Reich, aids rationality to his audience about industrial workers.
Next Reich depicts the second fastest sinking boat: in-person servers. They face minor global competition, but compete with machinery and laid off industrial workers. This boat has people that are paid minimum wage or minimally above (Reich 296).

As stated, American investment bankers and lawyers specializing in financial districts are selling their knowledge to Europeans and Latin Americans who are ambitious to discover how to make large amounts of money (Reich 525). Almost everyone around the world is buying the skills and knowledge of Americans who manipulate oral and visual symbols such as: musicians, sound engineers, film producers, makeup artists, directors, cinematographers, actors and actresses, boxers, writers and designers (Reich 526). The most important reason for this expansion of world markets is to increase global demand for the symbolic and analytic knowledge of Americas. American analysts has been the dramatic improvement in worldwide communication and transportation technologies (Reich 527). Whether in the form of licensing fee, fees for service, salaries, or shares in final profits, the economic result is much
