Stop Offshoring
Thursday, December 08, 2005
In this past week, some U.S. corporate giants announced plans to outsource more jobs to India.
Microsoft to invest $1.7 billion, add 3,000 jobs in India
Intel, J. P. Morgan outsource to India
American workers should be alarmed by these moves not just because it means more jobs going offshore, but the complexity of the jobs as well. Where offshore proponents once argued that only low-level tasks such as answering phones would move to other countries, this week's announcements show that even vital R&D functions are fair game.
What's left for American workers then? Not a whole lot, I'm afraid. Would you like fries with that?
