The salient point:

I know that doesn't make it any easier for people whose jobs have been outsourced overseas, but if a company's only means of survival is by farming jobs outside its walls, then sometimes it's a necessary step. The other option might be to close its doors for good.

Who would deny this?

Rubio wants 40 million immigrants.

Cruz says hispanics dont beg(Do African-Americans beg with no shame?)

Cruz says hispanics will line up on the street and fix your house on the cheap.

No commentary on Trump here, but I can say for certain - as an IT executive - that outsourcing helps provide job security for my full-timers. There is always a natural ebb and flow in the workload. If I hired domestic FTEs for the “flow,” when it came time for the ebb, I would have to start laying people off. There is no tenure in IT. I would keep the best performers, whether if they had been there 10 months or 10 years. By maintaining an investment in offshore resources, I can cut that contracting expense painlessly without touching my FTEs. They key is to use the offshore resources only to handle the “flow” until such time that it is clear it is becoming an ongoing operational expense, then switch to domestic FTEs. The majority of your organization should be FTEs.

Additionally, the lower cost of the offshore resources makes it easier to handle the “flow.” Whenever I add offshore temporarily, I attach them to FTEs who gain valuable team leadership experience.

Truly all offshoring is NOT bad, when it is done right. I’m absolutely certain that some people on FR who have never managed a large IT organization will not understand this, though. Flame on.

global outsourcing actually creates more jobs and increases wages, at least for IT workers

Make India Great Again!

I do not see outsourcing as a huge issue PROVIDED the economy is growing jobs in other sectors.

The issue is the second art of that statement is not happening.

Maybe the ‘outsourcing’ of jobs means:

Instead of a cement company in New York is x amount of dollars for a yard of cement could be cheaper if it's ‘outsourced’ to another company that could drop the amount of cost for the same yard of cement....

Sometimes you have to know how a business works before you make a decision of what the person is talking about...

In my business, for an example, during the rush of the holidays I will ‘outsource’ my projects to other people, and pay them the money I would make for them doing the work for me, it serves the customer, and it helps me, and it's economical to do it this way....

And while we are on this subject, has anybody noticed how expensive sheets are these days? I buy them used because the new ones made wherever, not here, our mills were closed down years ago, are way too expensive.

I don't see how it was a good idea to destroy all those jobs either. They used to make really nice-quality cotton fabrics, towels. I don't sew any more but I did get some fairly decent fabric for curtains on ebay.

Singer sewing machines are dirt cheap; I need a new one but am in no hurry.

Yeah. All those folks who used to work in manufacturing at two to 4 times minimum wage can easily find a job where the chinese products have come to our shelves, Walmart, with a good chance of advancement to 1.5X minimum wage.

A bit too much spin to swallow I’m afraid.

“TRUMP: “Outsourcing Creates Jobs in the Long Run””

Is the Pope Catholic? One has to be a TOTAL IDIOT not to know that outsourcing creates jobs.
