Recession Cuts High Paying Jobs

I read this sad news on yahoo about the huge cut on high paying jobs and regular paying jobs in the United States.

I thought that if that is happening on a superpower and one of the richest countries in the world, what more on a third world country like where I live? Existence of high paying jobs, or of any jobs seem to be futile!

US marketers attribute this to the on going recession, and they have no idea on how long and how deep this economic injury will be. Now I can imagine how many high paying jobs will be gone!
