The death of Steve Jobs was followed by an avalanche of superlatives - brilliant, genius, and visionary among the more common. He was likened to Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, and Thomas Edison.

The Apple home computer, not at all. After only one generation, all the Apple manufacturing jobs in America disappeared, as the work of building and assembling the machines was turned over to laborers in sweatshops in China and other countries. Jobs that should have provided employment for Americans for decades to come were terminated.

Needless to say, Apple proved a disaster for its onetime production workers. It turned out to be a classic bait-and-switch con for working folks. One day they held jobs that allowed them to do all the things people had come to expect from their employment. The next day the jobs were gone.

No one saw it coming. In fact, when new production plants came to Elk Grove, Calif., near Sacramento, and Fountain, Colo., near Colorado Springs, the future looked especially bright. Opened in 1992, the Elk Grove facility became the centerpiece of Sacramento"s campaign to lure high-tech companies away from the Bay Area. Other computer-makers soon followed. By the mid-1990s, the Sacramento area was considered the computer-manufacturing capital of the United States. Apple"s Elk Grove plant, which manufactured circuit boards and desktop computers, operated seven days a week and employed 1,500 people.

About the same time, the Apple plant in Fountain went into production and soon became the company"s largest manufacturing facility, turning out a million power-book and desktop computers a year. It was a state-of-the-art facility that helped the Colorado Springs area attract other high-tech companies.

But Apple changed the rules. Rather than open new plants in other U.S. cities and expand existing operations, the company, as other computer- and electronics-makers were also doing, moved production offshore, largely to China. The Elk Grove plant was closed in 2004, less than a decade after full production started, "cutting out the core of what used to be one of the brightest stars in the region"s high-tech constellation," as the Sacramento Bee put it. Apple sold the Fountain plant to an electronics firm in 1996. The new owners continued to manufacture Apple computers under contract for three years until production there also moved abroad. The plant closed in 2007. Today, the 250,000-square-foot building sits vacant, a painful reminder of what was once a thriving tech industry.

As recently as 2000, Colorado Springs was riding a high-tech job boom. But since then, with the closure of the former Apple plant and other facilities, the area has lost more than 40 percent of its manufacturing and information-technology jobs. More than 15,000 jobs - paying from $55,000 to $80,000 plus benefits - simply vanished, according to local economic-development officials, sucking an estimated $500 million out of the local economy.

In place of those good-paying occupations, jobs in call centers for insurance, finance, and cellphones were created, paying on average about half what those in IT paid, according to local officials.

Stamp was one of the first Apple employees at Fountain. He was 26 years old when he joined the company in 1984 at its first major assembly plant in Fremont, Calif., recording and keeping track of the myriad parts that went into each personal computer, from hard drives to screws. When the company offered him an opportunity to get in on the ground floor at its new assembly plant in Colorado, he jumped at the chance. His fianceé, Christy, landed a job at Fountain as well, and later he moved up to a supervisory position in shipping. Gregarious and down-to-earth, Stamp is the first to tell you he was never a computer geek. He was a "materials guy" whose job was to feed the production line. "My job was to get it to the line and make sure it was a quality product ready for the line to use."

In Colorado, he and Christy moved into a comfortable bi-level house set on five acres near the Black Forest, an area of abundant Ponderosa pines and natural beauty north of Colorado Springs. "We were living large," he said. "We thought it would go on forever."

Discouraged about Fountain"s future, Stamp left in 2001. He tried his hand in real estate in Colorado and held a series of supervisory jobs for less pay in distribution and warehousing in fields as disparate as retail and electronics, first in Colorado and then in California. In 2008, when his last job was shipped to Singapore, he hit a stone wall. Before, he had always been able at least to secure an interview that often led to a job - if only for a while. Now he would send out resumés listing his lengthy experience and wasn"t even getting a call.

Stamp remembers reading an article years ago, when he was still with Apple, predicting that the average worker in the future would undergo four career changes and hold as many as 10 different jobs. And he thought: "Not me. I"m staying right here." Little did he know that would never be an option.

That"s because Congress and Wall Street had other plans. The jobs that provided a good living for Stamp and thousands of production workers in Fountain, Elk Grove, and Fremont are now in China. Every Apple product - Macs, iPods, iPhones, and now iPads - is made in China. Unlike companies in the past, which manufactured in the United States for decades, Apple shipped its jobs offshore in less than a generation. For a point of comparison, the last plant in the United States still making lightbulbs, a General Electric factory in Winchester, Va., turned out the lights and closed its doors in September - more than 100 years after Edison introduced his invention.

The move to China came about quietly and was little noticed at the time because of the way Apple went about creating its offshore presence. Rather than build plants that proudly displayed the Apple name, as it did in California and Colorado, the company turned to outsourcing firms that partnered with the Chinese to establish plants where the products are made. Apple"s plants in mainland China bear the name of their Chinese contractor, but inside they are making Apple products. The arrangement is a convenient buffer insulating Apple from oversight of its offshore workplaces.

These practices have been documented in numerous reports by a Hong Kong-based human-rights group, Students and Scholars Against Corporate Misbehavior (SACOM). Of working conditions at one Foxconn plant making iPhones, SACOM concluded: "Workers frequently endure excessive and forced overtime in order to gain a higher wage. If they cannot reach the production target, they have to skip dinner or work on unpaid overtime shifts." SACOM calls Foxconn"s Apple workers "iSlaves."

To Stamp it"s amazing to realize how quickly it all changed - how the door to so much opportunity and a secure future suddenly slammed shut after Apple began to subcontract out the making of its basic products and then shipped all the work to other countries. One day they had great jobs and the next day some were nomads, going from one employer to another, never knowing how long each job would last.

Stamp never got the joint memo from Congress and Wall Street: If you are over 50 years of age, only a lucky few will obtain meaningful jobs in the future. Everyone else is out of luck. Congress has decided that people must continue to work until their 70s, but has refused to provide the economic structure to do so.
