The anger felt by American workers about high-tech jobs going to India will fade away in a couple of years. That’s the prediction from research company Gartner. The reason that the company believes the anger will ebb is that by then the global economy will have improved and unemployment levels will have decreased. Offshore outsourcing is now a “mega-trend” that will cause up to 10 percent of IT professionals in the US to lose their jobs by 2004. Despite bills passed in the US houses of government aimed at slowing or even stopping offshore outsourcing, none have been passed into law yet as American authorities tend not to interfere with the right of businesses to operate in the most competitive manner possible.
You responded to a 20-year-old post in a 20-year-old thread to get in a dig at President Trump, who has nothing to do with this expired topic? What is wrong with you?
Iron and steel foundry production is an art. I believe we must maintain that.
Reagan understood, and Trump appears to have understood that, too - despite opposition.
Thanks for noting, that despite some problems raised by using tariffs, there remain some benefits.
My particular interest among such benefits, is our domestic skill in regard to making a high quality product.
