Stop Offshoring
Wednesday, December 10, 2003
I did a search on Google News for articles on offshoring. Here's one recent article.
Offshoring of IT Jobs Expected to Accelerate - internetnews.com
http://www.internetnews.com/ent-news/article.php/3110511
"Forrester Research predicts that $136 billion in wages, or 3.3 million jobs, will move offshore in the next 15 years.
"Most of the analysts speaking at CDExpo say that number, as large as it sounds, might be wishful thinking. The actual numbers will be much higher."
The article also goes on to say that the jobs not heading offshore (for now) include upper-level and management jobs. That makes sense -- the people who make the decisions to replace their American workers with cheap foreigners know their own jobs are safe. Let's see if they think offshoring is such a great idea when it's THEIR jobs in jeopardy.
