Isn't this Republican code for "I like workers who have no job protection and being able to send more American jobs to third world countries"?

Flexible workforce in that sense is someone who is trained as an aerospace engineer but loses his job to someone in India or China and has the skills to work at McDonalds just to have a job. It doesn't matter that he has an education, and a higher living standard based on his former job. It doesn't matter that he has a mortgage on a nice house and car payments on a fairly new car he has a job and that is all that matters. It doesn't matter if the job is not enough to put food on his family's table he has a job. That keeps him off the unemployment rolls and thus makes things look rosey as far as the employment picture statistics. Flexible flipping burgers and designing spacecraft, talk about flexibility.

Isn't it interesting that we have near record low unemployment..and have for some time now...And...AND yet America's economic engine ALSO creates MILLIONS of jobs over seas! Wow! That is cool!
As to that Republican code, no. Flexible means the same as it always has. People who hunker down and decide that making wagon wheels is what they want to dedicate their lives to are going to be sorely disappointed. The world is changing faster than ever with the push of technology. Workers need to adapt or go the way of the dinosaur. Sorry to be the one to break it to you.
As to their protection, hey, here's an idea. Look out for yourself. The government's not your Mommy...though many liberals would have you think so or want it to be. Grow up, be a man.
Hope that helps.

He means that if a worker (after showing up at his job), is asked to leave because there`s no more work for him there, should start to look for work elsewhere. Increased mobility for workers

I don't believe in job protection. The worker has no right to that job - he didn't create it.
As for shifting operations overseas, in a free country, any business has that right.
Why are you so much against economic freedom?

I think you got it!
I wonder where in the constitution it says that the President should decide how disposable our workforce is....

that means workers that learn in the state run schools ..how to actually do something..
this isn't a workers republic..as much as the liberals would love to see it be one..throughout the entire span of a borderless hemisphere
especially when Clinton with Dems owning both Houses of Congress passing NaFta in 1993

Exactly that why they(cons) can say we're paying you too much.Take less pay and you can keep your job.if not I'll get someone who will take much less!
