Outsourcing Options

[*kryogenix*]

What's your take on outsourcing? Here's a bit of background for those who don't know what it is: http://www.foreignaffairs.org/20040501faes...g-bogeyman.html


Personally, I don't really like it. Up until a few months ago, I wanted to become a computer programmer. But I learned that many of these jobs were being outsourced to other countries. However, it does help american business I guess.

Outsourcing doesn't work with every company, infact many has already turned away from outsourcing because they were losing more money even with cheap labor.

It's true that outsourcing affects the job market tremendously short term, but I believe that there will be benefits in the long run.

well the reason they stopped outsourcing was BECAUSE they lost many and no other reason other than that. though those companies have, the majority are sticking to outsourcing leaving us w. the same problem.

i don't see how outsourcing can benefit america in any way other than better products and etc. the fact remains though that whether or not better products are available in the market doesn't mean people will necessarily buy it. it still leaves those jobless people jobless.
