I been looking for job ever since April and notice one thing. Even with high unemployment the wages for manufacturing are not at minimum wage. the law supply and demand for labor is broken in America. Every one should demand lower wages to competitive with aisa. I am recant mechanical tech engineer grad and willing to work an engineer job for 20,000 thousand now.
"The U.S. government is the biggest impediment to job growth. Having built a small business into a big one, I can tell you that today the impediments that the government imposes are impossible to deal with. Home Depot would never have succeeded if we'd tried to start it today. Every day you see rules and regulations from a group of Washington bureaucrats who know nothing about running a business. And I mean every day. It's become stifling." --Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus to Investor.com
I don't understand why these 3rd world countries can't raise them selves out of poverty, countries need to create there own jobs and create there own industries that will WORK for THEIR Country. Outsourcing of jobs just leads to job shortages and less work freedoms.
Cont.... There needs to be laws set or there will be a uprising soon, by the American people and that is a fact they will have enough and then BOOM. What will to Government then do? Absolutely nothing scene the they are in Debt that they cannot even pay the military now what are they going to do. All Politicians will pay for the outsourcing mistakes they have make in our country guaranteed. well at least for us that know how to stand up, and not be soft like others out there.
How about we raise the taxes on corporations that are outsourcing American jobs to other countries and give a tax break to those who keep employment here in America. Raise the taxes to 110% make sure that companies like Teletech amongst others go broke who send our jobs over seas. I think that is fair its called pay the piper at this point. Get rid of companies that do not need to be here. Our citizens who need and want work will work. But not with companies like this.
Outsourcing jobs, combining jobs and simplifiying jobs.....hire the professionals to establish the work.......hire less skilled workers to maintain the work......
Answer 1 yes,Outsourcing is not just happening in the U.S,its happening in New Zealand as well,Telecom's call centre is in India and Telstra Clear call centre is in Asia Phillipines,KiwiRail is inviting overstayers to work in the Railways
We are long past outsourcing manufacturing jobs and are now looking to engineering and other higher education type roles. If we loose these types of jobs the incentive to be educated in those areas will decline leaving this Country in a competitive disadvantage.
for as much bullshit as hilarly clinton speaks she shout shut up and look at what her husband did fuck nafta fuck clinton taking credit for the president before him.
I think the German way is the only solution for the west: Fuck the free market. Tax the rich and make the ordinary workers competitve by giving them free education, healthcare, so that they can have a good life despite low wages. Strong labour unions that destroy companies if they ship jobs away, but are ready for hard compromises too, fight for every job and support the company.
It may sound socialist, but what is the alternative? USA you have to fight for your manufactoring base!
@ajazaad Cry? Say that to my face and YOU will be the one that will be crying. Because of a cost of living difference that it is OK to starve American workers. When the pendulum swings the other way and you run out of money you will be eating Rats one again. Haha
@AmericanMale1953 haha little sissy , if u were that strong you would have questioned government and not crying here on youtube , You have been writing a lot of shitty spammer comments in quite a few videos.
no it's not. The companies which outsource are not sending out jobs they are sending out support. These people work behind the scenes and are okay with that job profile. They are the ones which do all the boring menial paperwork, something like what our computers do. No one seemed this perturbed when the mills shut down to make way for factories 50 years back.
We are outsourcing??what? "FRYING PAN TO THE FACE!!!" Globalization people!!! hello??? are u that ignorant not to know about whats going on? people who live in India want a better life just as much as you do? what makes you so much better and deserving than them? we are a global economy and with the social media revolution, the internet, travel and dramatic technology changes, the wold has changed forever.
Trust me guys who are pissed about outsourcing white collar jobs; it won't last. The quality of workmanship in India sucks and it very fucked up as there is no dignity labor. People are treated like shit by the rich and most likely the same white collar workers who are working for American corporations will end up in America; so America will actually gain by outsourcing in the long-run. Nobody wants to stay in a fucked up 3rd world country like India or China.
IT work is not rocket science, it is the GREED of certain companies and Indians that is hurting American jobs. Just because India suffers from overpopulation, (which is their own doing) the solution should not be bankrupting qualified Americans that have been in IT for years. We will deal with you one way or another, we are not going to lay down and let you run over us on this, you have my word on that.
@AmericanMale1953 American companies do not outsource to India because they are overpopulated nation.... They outsource to cut costs. Indian people did not ask for jobs... American business leaders decided to outsource them...
obama is selling your jobs to india and indonesia.every time you make a phone call to service center, a person with foreign accent answers your call. this job can be done by an american. this job is shipped to india.don't blame the other nation's currency take away your jobs. it is your "smart president" who "donate" your jobs away.
The bottom line is that without outsourcing, American businesses would be unable to compete against foreign businesses. Then, you'd see more and more foreign businesses being established in the U.S., as opposed to American ones. China would buy up capital and increase its influence in the U.S. at a far quicker rate.
Outsourcing is great if you are in upper management, but that's it.
I'm trying to figure out why my job disappearing overseas helps my country? What does the Tea Party think of outsourcing? Do they think it's a bit traitorous or how do they spin it?
@jaybird321 If they're consistent, I expect that they support the individual right of the businessman to hire whomever he wants for the job. The government doesn't have any constitutional right to dictate things like this.
Sounds very unpatriotic to me. That is one less job for an american, but another job to a foreign country. The math doesn't sit well with me. The Tea Party, Libertarians are knee jerk and short sighted on every other issue, but they can't be with this issue? Sounds like a bunch of corporate cronies selling us down the river. I'm sick and tired of the convenient "logic, reason and long term thinking" regarding this issue. This country is going to suffer.
@jaybird321 The harsh reality is that if you restrict American companies from outsourcing, they won't be able to compete against the foreign companies that do outsource. Outsourcing cuts trememdous costs, while increasing efficiency. You'd just make the U.S. even less competitive against China, which has zero qualms about any form of outsourcing. In any case, I really don't think that the U.S. shouldn't restrict free enterprise.
@ErikMartin81 Bull. Where does China sell these products? TO THE US!!!! We're selling them the knife to cut our throats with while at the same time China doesn't even allow the US to sell it's products in China. You want free enterprise? Tell that to the Chinese, Indians..etc...
@YesYou123333 It's irrelevant to me if the U.S. has a "trade deficit" with China and India. I have a "trade deficit" with my local grocer, in the sense that I've purchased from him but not vice versa, but I've still gotten value in exchange for value as it's voluntary consentual trade. We should think in terms of individuals, not in terms of countries. On the individual level we should all be free to do business with whomever we please.
@ErikMartin81 Unfortunately, China disagrees with you. If all parties played the same way, then there's an argument but they don't. You can't have a game where the other team gets the ball on the 50 yard line after every kick-off while the other team gets it on their own 10. One team will eventually throw their hands up and quit. Then, you won't have a game.
Bull shit statement "outsourcing is good for American economy" How does he fighur taking jobs out of the American workers help the economy. The only reason for outsourcing is so Big Money Corps. save money in labor, supplies, and manufacturing. WTF Big Corps. are exempt from taxes so why else move. We live a very troubles time and it's going to get worse before it gets better
Republicans love this shit, real smart election the other day america, real smart. bunch of dumb asses. Your voting republican will only cause you even more pain later on.
Sure it aids. You know who? Just the big corporations thats who, the ones who already roll in millions of dollars, while the middle class falls apart, outsourcing lets the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. All of those ceo's make triple what they would if they paid americans. It stimulates foreign economies, and the pockets of ceo's. While our economy suffers, the middle class, and everyone in the pc and tech support fields especially lose their jobs to indians, We need our jobs back!!!!!
Tom Donohue has been palling around with the president of China in order to promote the outsourcing of American jobs. As Mr. Donohue told VentureOutsource publication, outsourcing is good for business and the Chamber is “fighting to preserve their right to [outsource].”
@simontimon2 Imagine how fast factorys open and start producing when the most powerfull market in the world is closed to offshore manufacturing. Like I said, see ya. Go sell computers, phones and TVs to the Chinese that earn 300 bucks a month and sleep on the factory. I know Americans that have cable bills that run 300 a month.
@rickbar123 I guess you forget that the US did the exact same thing during the great depression. It was called the Smoot Hawley Tariff, In just one year unemployment tripled.
"Enconomic law states that if you can't import you also can't export."
You'll backruped the industry that export products.
To make a TV in the US under the current regulation and tax system would cost 10 000$ you will impoverish the poor and make it that only the rich could afford anything.
@simontimon2 1- Smoot Hawley was from a time when America exported. The only thing America exports now are weapons. Most of, if not all of those weapon sales are funded by the American taxpayer. Smoot Hawley also was a farm based law. America exports nothing. Who cares about Smoot Hawley ? Economic law states importing everything and exporting nothing makes you Greece. Price controls, once very popular in America, would keep the cost of the TVs down.
@rickbar123 "Price controls, once very popular in America" since when?
What do you want? ten year waiting list for a TV just like in the Soviet Union.
In the 1950's the US produced the cheapest and highest quality products while paying the highest wages in the World. Back then, government was the size of a supermodel now it's as big as Fat bastard.
PUT GOVERNMENT ON A DIET, OR ELSE HE'LL HAVE A HEART ATTACK AND DIE. simple as that
@simontimon2 Yes. Price controls were very popular in America. The 40s, 50s, and most of the 60s and 70s saw price controls. See- Selling Free Interprise by Wolf. America never had a waiting list for TVs. You should also read - Capital Moves by I forget who the hell wrote it. "Capital Moves" tells the story of RCAs flush down the toilet in search of cheap labor and less regulation. We the people have small government, the corporations have the power of gov. That needs to reverse.
"F.A. hayek road to serfdom", where government have mistakenly tried to ensure continuing prosperity by centralized planning, which inevitably leads to totalitarianism.
@simontimon2 Hayek, Misis and Freidman were paid hacks. The 3 Stooges sucked a ton of money from the filthy rich writing that dripple. The 3 Stooges, if not for the rich, would have had trouble finding a job in a back woods high school teaching home economics to toothless mountain girls. In fact, for a few years the Mount Perlin Boys sat around in a circle jerk waiting to get paid because the rich saw no value in them. Back to the Beck show for you, class is over. I have no time for a repeater.
The government isn’t realistically going to manage the economy correctly, they’re corrupt, and they will never even completely understand Keynes in the first place.
Central planning of an economy isn’t just about economics — it’s also about politics. And that’s where the “somewhere in the middle” train leads us — into the abyss, courtesy of fat, corrupt bureaucrats whose only goals are their self-interest. The irony would be amusing if it wasn’t destroying lives.
@simontimon2 A powerful gov that is at the mercy of the people and not the corporation is the only solution. The corporation is behind Hayek. The corporation wants a small gov. The corporation is licking their chops.
Big Government is in bed with Big Corporation. If I were CEO of a major corporation - let's call it the Big Widget Corporation - I would love Big Government. That's because I could:
•lobby Congress to subsidize the widget industry, explaining how vital widgets are to the economy.
•lobby for tariff protection against imported widgets. This will allow my company to gouge American consumers with higher prices.
•lobby for regulations that would drive my smaller competitors out of business.
The only way to stop outsourcing is to boycott the companies. The way to find out is not by asking the corporation but by calling customer care to see if someone happens to lack knowledge of customer service skills. If it is true do not do any kind of business with that company and give them reason that they outsourced the job thats why. Therefore, more jobs would be created. The economy of the western world will be better.
@Steve0686 Any suggestions as how this(boycotting the outsourcing companies)is to be done? So many of the products we use and buy are made overseas. If anyone has an answer, I'd love to hear it.
Look for jobs that can't be done in Asia??!! Give me a break. I just talked to an Architect last night who says they do drawings in India for $5 an hour! As India becomes better educated and able to do more jobs for cheap, its only going to get worse here. Theres only a few locally oriented jobs that can't be eventually done there and the majority of us are not going to find a niche market in the regard. The American Dream is slowly becoming a nightmare for the majority all in the name of greed.
Outsourcing is a cancer that is rapidly killing the middle class. There really should be a law banning this practice. I personally know a couple of people who have been effected by outsourcing and its so widespread that even the American military does it. The troops absolutely hate the outsourcers and the salary of one outsourcer could pay for the jobs of 8 military personnel. American techs have really come to hate countries like China and India because thats where their jobs have gone
SERIOUSLY, IF I HAD THE POWER TO DO SOMETHING, I WOULD PASS A LAW THAT WOULD NOT ALLOW ANY CORPORATIONS TO OUTSOURCE JOBS TO COUNTRIES OTHER THAN AMERICA! NO IFS NO BUTS NO EXCUSES WHATSOEVER! OBAMA IF YOU WANT TO TRULY "CHANGE" AMERICA, THEN LET THIS LAW BE PASSED NOW! IM SO F**KEN SICK OF THIS SH!T.
@StreetDoctor90 Wonderful idea, but you also have to do something about the lobbyists that the corporations hire to twist the arms of the lawmakers to look the other way in regards to outsourcing.
Is the person who wrote the title to this video stupid? Anyone with half a brain should know. You can't just effiin' send a tech guy out to burger king and expect it all to work out. It's insane. Period. Grow brains, people! But some of these conservatives think that McDonald's is going to be sufficient! IT DOESN'T WORK!!!
@tubecraft7 conservatives hate outsorching too. Outsorcing is justifyed by congressional republicans because it opens more service jobs and it is justifyed by congressal democrats because it helps a poor person
What an asshole this guy Trowbridge is. Outsourcing high tech and engineering jobs to India will be the downfall of America. Without engineers America is done for sure.
@keithorama999 Private businesses have a right to hire whomever they want. The problem lies with the American unions, and their unwillingness to compromise. They tend to act like spoiled little egocentric children, with an air of entitlement. I hope more politicians will follow Chris Christie's example, and take on the unions.
it won't be the downfall of America, the fact that we are stupid enough to elect GOP into the US SEnate/House is our downfall. Rich gets their tax cuts, and screws the american workers and then just ships off jobs to 3rd world countries with dictatorships and then makes even more money, and yet thanks to GOP/Bush such money is or should be lowly taxed. The rich is literally holding out the threat of job creation and the gov't and people and what's left of middle class must bend over backwards?
ah...yeah I know...elementary school kids go to school until like 4 or 5. they learn high school math in jr high...they learn physics chemistry and biology at AP level just so they can prep for a test into college...yeah their economy sucks and they live under a dictatorship, but they still know alot and they all LEARN English now too....so...u are on the dot
I have lived in UK and USA both...the jobs that are being outsourced are mostly call centre jobs and not too many Americans OR English who wants to to do these jobs and the cost of running a call center in the UK OR America is very high...
also the attrition rate in the call centers in the UK and America is ridiculously high... cuz no one wants to do these jobs... on the other hand people in India call center is the career...
I work for a cellphone co. they outsourced the client care and the account management departments in the Philippines and Guatemala, the service is horrible, unprofessional and mediocre. They pay them peanuts, but churns of the clients goes with it. It also affects my daily work, a lot of stress since they are not trained properly and the clients gets really frustrated. billing errors, wrong info etc... sucks.
The GOP candidate for congress running 2 years ago for my district made most of his money running a company that advised & assisted his wealthy clients on how to maximize profits by investing in Asian countries. He ran a lot ads bashing illegals working in this area because they were the main reason jobs were being lost in this congressional district.
Executives like Trowbridge who participate in outsourcing should have their children starved, and their throats slit for they are traitors, and that is the fate deserving of a traitor.
Yeah everyone outsourcing our jobs HELPS our economy! Send all of our manufacturing jobs away, GREAT IDEA. I'm sorry but consumerism will not replace productivity. The US will fail in the end.
@Midvinterblot542 This is sucha huge problem that doesnt get hardly the amount of attention it deserves . If you want to trace the problem to it's sources Congress and The Federal reserve. If we didnt have a Federal reserve The government's only means of survival would depend on the posperity of their own citizens and outsourcing would be a crime and tariffs on all imports would be law.
@Midvinterblot542 True...once all jobs are gone in the U.S. and Canada,people will get angry and will fuck everything up in the streets,washington will be in flames if they keep favorising this shit.
But hey,they recently passed an Anti-Outsourcing legislation in the U.S.,which saves a lot of jobs,yet.
I just can´t believe that there are people who defend George Bush. That is just plain ignorance. This is a a man who created very serious problems for the US and other countries who hopped on board to follow his agenda. He didn´t act alone, but couldn´t distinguish the difference between right and wrong. He simply let others have their way with him. Shame on anyone supporting Bush. He is a proven idiot.
"If it can be done in Asia, you better leave it alone. If it can be done by automation, you better leave it alone."
...wow, she is some Luddite. If she is so concerned about making sure everyone is employed, she should know it's easy to fix We could have full employment If we got rid of all trucks and trains and made people transport things by hiring people to walk carrying the products.
Hillary Loves to blame it on Bush also, when it was her husband that signed one of the largest free trade NAFTA agreements in our nations history.. Bush didn't even have a full year in office yet when industries were leaving the US like hot cakes because of Hillary's husband.. All put together by a bipartisan congress
@rgmztxy Notice I said Bipartisan in my comment they both are to blame but the one party cries foul the most with lies instead of sucking it up and telling the truth
dude, these are the consequences of deregulated economy. Most americans supported and still support this. Wake up, this is not India's or whatever country's fault. This is "market"'s and it's "natural forces" ( to put it into Milton Friedman's words). Regulation and socialization of the economy are the only way out of this.
Outsourcing is needed for comapnies to be compeditive and keep their prices low. If Americans were not such cheap asses that care more about the price than the quality this wouldn't be happening. There are products and services made in the USA, but people would rather buy the cheaper product made overseas. When the product fails they will just buy a new one. The days of even going and getting a product repaired is gone.
The IT and call center field is dead in the USA. The guy in this story needs to look for a new line of work. Thoughout history there has been many other lines of work that became obsolete and probably for the better. I use to work in call centers and the job sucked. By them sending those jobs overseas it has allowed them to create better jobs here.
He has to be straight and run a policy that promotes local hiring, or face the risk of a major economic bankruptcy.
It is not alone a sign of success to see Dow Jones & NASDAQ going up, because jobless recovery also happened during Bush's 8 years and we saw it that it made matters worse.
We learned the lesson that there is no recovery without massive employment, just like there is no permanent downfall without massive outsourcing.
Consulting makes sense, because it gives access to expertise of a certain organization, and it not wide spread.
Millions of Americans with strong education & skills are not able to find professional work only because the companies outsource most of their jobs.
I have seen a list of companies who already have a plan in place to win the contracts, expected to result from Obama's health care plan, and outsource the jobs.
How can you buy and for how long, even if it is made in China, unless you have a good paying job, or you are living off your savings, or you are underemployed, or you are working as a salesperson?
Outsourcing is not natural.
It is like giving the job of bearing your child to workers in foreign countries.
Or it is like almost everybody in the country becomes gay, and the responsibility of child bearing is given to female workers in some foreign country.
what u call- "outsourced wealth" is only 15-20% of India. 80% of India is all "VILLAGE" (get it). millions of farmers, labor & small scale industries just died (I literally mean it - they 'DIE') when ur Monsanto, ur Caterpillar Inc, ur MNC Food chains landed. our '3rd WORLD COUNTRY' voices r never heard on this YouTube or ur CNN, our politicians don't give a shit. On other hand..after years of 'Couch-Potato-ing' Americans suddenly realized tat they r jobless..n when they squeal!!! here we go
@RudraHanuman So I guesse the shitty conditions of your country are our fault. Let me ask you something...cuz I've been DYING for a straight answer. If you people hate the standard of living your country provides...then why do you have children? Is it some duty to 'God', is it cuz you don't know anybetter, is it cuz your sure that one day THEY will be successful, or is it just sheer stupidity? Do you think your children will actually THANK YOU for bringing them into that kind of life?
@NBTY4ever Standards of living vs population growth. answer - Italy has the lowest fertility rate, Europe was at one time worried abt diminishing growth rate..but still the standards of living, medical science is well advanced ! I mean.though our pop. rate is high, stndrds of living is very poor...atleast a major chunk of pop. is suffering.
I'm not blaming ur country for these shitty conditions(no way). I'm just trying 2 say- "globalization ALSO has adverse effects on either sides of the globe"
@NBTY4ever Do you think your children will actually THANK YOU for bringing them into that kind of life? (u touched a emotional point..but a gud one). answer- no they will not. Tats the reason..we always strive. "A pauper who can't take care of her self still has the right to give birth". Birth rate is great but look at the malnourished infants rate too.
I'm not blaming anyone b'cz I'm the part this system. I'm just trying 2 explain u the other side of the world which u may not know.
@clarkent69 I do agree with u. I used to assume tat in U.S people r treated well, govt. is amazing; it's a perfect place. now after 4yrs I can slowly see the reality.
I mean..if a well established civilization like U.S can be a victim of this irresponsibility, the wrath of politicians & industrialists. A country where awareness, education & access to information is still a question..imagine to what extent a politician can exploit !
Proverb - "when u don't know math, u lend me & still u owe me"
It sure is to blame. Many major cities in the Midwest are now nothing but ghost towns of empty factories. This free trade was forced down our throats by congress. Our government sucks! They should all just go on permanent recess. I wouldn't pay one cent for any leadership from the bunch of losers that our in congress.
The truth is its not that the jobs that can done by a US citizen go to India. Its that there is more technical work than what the U.S Citizens can handle. This is due to the pace in which technology is growing.
U.S has 300 million people and how many of them do you think know how to program?
India has 1 billion people and pretty much everyone in the 18-40 age category can write a computer program and deliver professional results.
@mrchocolate4eva How do you relate the customer service jobs sent overseas or the factory jobs sent first to Mexico and then to China to programming? I don't buy that they are jobs "we won't do" rather we cant do it form what they are willing to pay. So they (corporations) go overseas and exploit foreign workers and try to get us to buy their crap and they pocket a windfall. We, and our foreign counterparts are both being exploited.
@overcominginertia, is Darwinian Capitalism at its finest with the corporations playing the predators, the countries playing the habitats, the economic systems playing the ecosystems, and the people playing the prey.
@overcominginertia There is a reason you dont buy that idea: because you are smart enuff not to fall for bullshit! Congradulations for being the only person besides me on this page with a fully functional cortex!
@mrchocolate4eva I HAVE PROGRAMMING CERTIFICATIONS COMING OUT MY ASS! CAN I FIND A GOOD PAYING JOB? NO! WHY? CUZ SOME GUY IN NEW DELHI CAN DO IT FOR NOTHING. STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY BULLSHIT YOU FUCKING, FUCKING, FUCKING ASSHOLE! DIE IN A BURNING SHED, YOU SYPHALITIC ARES-FUCK!
damn man, calm down. I got good news and bad news for you. Good news - guy in New Delhi, losing his job and lots more like him because some guy in thailand, bangladesh, nepal etc. are doing cheaper work then him. Bad news - your job is still not coming back.
@hellfireyoutoob YOU SHOULD HAVE WROTE: "HERE'S THE SHITTY NEWS, AND HERE'S THE EVEN SHIITIER NEWS". AM I SUPPOSED TO JUMP UP AND DOWN FOR JOY, GRAB MY COCK, AND GO SKIPPING THRU THE TULIP FIELD HAPPY AS A CLAM BECAUSE SOME GUY IN INDIA GOT SHAFTED BY SOME DOOCHBAG IN AN EVEN CRAPPIER COUNTRY? SORRY, THAT DOES NOT MATHC MY DEFINITION OF 'GOOD NEWS'. YOU NEED A GOOD SHOT TO THE HEAD JUST TO SMARTEN YOU UP, BOY!
@NBTY4ever I said Bad news, you dumb fuck. You can do whatever the hell you want, except ofcourse your old job. AHAHAHA. you useless fuck sucking off the tit of welfare. If you want, I can shoot you in the head and put you out of your misery, because that will probably be better for everyone. Now go grab whatever cock you want, and start sucking it like you do best, because that will probably be your next job, and guess what, the pay is shitty, but atleast you will leave on a full stomach
@hellfireyoutoob I will rip out all...BUT TWO...of your lungs. You can suck my farts like bong-hits, you masturbating monkey molester. YES...i read the part you lableeld BAD NEWS...that's not the point. Go shoot yourself in the chest and fuck the hole!
@NBTY4ever damn late reply, its ok I know you were busy with your new job sucking cocks. I am guessing smelling farts is a bonus .. whatever rocks your boat...
@hellfireyoutoob What is your fucking problem psycho?? Are you HAPPY about outsourcing? Does the idea of people losing their jobs get you off? Fuck you,man.
@NBTY4ever My problem has nothing to do with outsourcing, it has to do with asshole like you that bitch and moan and fan flames of hatred. Like all things, outsourcing has good sides and bad sides. You cant just blame people or companies. Companies need to lower cost, because customer demand cheap stuff. People in other countries work for lower pay because they need to live. Its all fair game. Should we reward companies that outsource, NO! should it be banned.. also NO!.
@hellfireyoutoob GOOD?! For whom? For people in other countries?! DUDE...when North America goes bankrupt who will they leech off then? They will be right back to where they started! What happens to a mosquito if it sucks ALL the blood out of it's victims...NO MORE FOOD! It dies!!! Buddy, smarten up and get with the program,
@NBTY4ever this is exactly the type of radical rhetoric that turn people off. Its not rocket science. Companies outsource to cheaper countries because of cost. Those countries get richer and the incentive goes away. When incentive goes away, then the jobs come back or go elsewhere. Don't believe me? read the paper. Indian companies have started outsourcing back to US and are hiring thousands of workers because now for some, its cheaper to work in the US.
this countries economy is based on capitalism...whats capitalism ? well.. making money ! and lets not blame the groups to whom the jobs are given to but the companies who gave them away ! its all fun a games until someone starts making money !
I wonder how scared our government is getting. They are realizing we know they are full of shit. And no amount of parasitic celebrities will save them.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS IS A PROPAGANDA TOOL OF THE GLOBAL CORPORATE ELITE! Associated Press newsroom controls what the whole nation sees. This is power like the Soviet PRAVDA and TASS had. No wonder so many people don't know what is going on.
Hillary's LIES, her husband Bill pushed and passed NAFTA. Free Trade is the biggest con ever pulled on the American people. And our own traitorous Congress, Democrats and Republicans did it to us. Is it about cheap skilled foreign labor, or is it about saving the middle class and keeping Americans employed. Use your purchase power. Buy American locally from Americans. Confront and boycott Corporate free Traitors and vote out ALL free trade incumbents!
@apainfulcase Some of the multinationals that are outsourcing U.S. jobs claim that it (outsourcing) is allegedly good for the American economy. HOW??? and for whom?
@mannecyberguy if you call 800 number and if you know that your call got transferred to another country. Write down the name of the company and do not do anymore business with that company.
@apainfulcase Because the corporate terrorists to whom you refer are constantly paying lobbyists to twist their arms and bend their ears to ignore the will of the people, except at election time.
@apainfulcase Because Republicans passed some bills to outsource your jobs. Democrats are trying to pass bills that will reverse this but to reverse bills you need 60 votes. They are a few votes short on these bills: S 3816
hr 5982
HR 5893
hr 2847
hr 4567
hr 27
hr 3058
hr 3598
even the unemployment bill hr 4213 had some incentives for American jobs There are MANY bills, including taking money from multinational corps for campaigns that we need to look at.
@apainfulcase The government has no right to tell private businesses whom they can and cannot hire. If I start a business, I'll hire whomever makes me most profitable, something which in turn will allow me to hire more people in the long run.
Montana programmers would get Indian-written pieces of POINTS. If they found a problem, which is common in complex computer systems, getting it fixed — or simply communicating the problem to the person who actually wrote the code — took several cumbersome steps and usually several days.
People like Ben Trowbridge (the outsourcing consultant at :54 )
How do people like that sleep at night knowing what they are doing to the country?
You cannot blame any Bush's, Clinton's, or Obama's for the hell this economy is facing right now. But rather our own habits of putting human interests far below the almighty dollar.
The US mainly outsources jobs that american's don't want to do. Like call centers and telemarketing.
American consumers expect to get more and pay less for the products they buy. So all manufacturing are being shifted overseas mainly in China. Labor cost in the US that its no longer competitive to do any local manufacturing.
Face it the US a nation of consumers. If more people saved money and spend less. Like right now on this recession. More people are likely to lose your jobs.
Excuse me but stopping spending is economically unhealthy. That forces deflation thus causes businesses to collapse and we all would witness the 2nd Great Depression stupid
Batbomb, you dont know a fucking thing about the economy. And this IS the 2nd great depression, you dumbass. And Morons like you CAUSED this, because you're just too fucking stupid to understand how things work. You're all a bunch of stupid man-children that want the feds to wipe your foul assholes for you. Fucking slaves deserve their pain.
the jobs that creates wealth can't be outsourced ... these are engineers... scientists... R&D... the low paying / low skills jobs do not create wealth for the country.
instead of buying useless products US people should focus more on self education
too much time consuming goods as crazy... too short time studying and saving money
your new ipod and oled tv won't help you on your career unless you're selling them
instead of keep blaming outsourcing, go study, start saving and stop spending

How about we raise the taxes on corporations that are outsourcing American jobs to other countries and give a tax break to those who keep employment here in America. Raise the taxes to 110% make sure that companies like Teletech amongst others go broke who send our jobs over seas. I think that is fair its called pay the piper at this point. Get rid of companies that do not need to be here. Our citizens who need and want work will work. But not with companies like this.

The bottom line is that without outsourcing, American businesses would be unable to compete against foreign businesses. Then, you'd see more and more foreign businesses being established in the U.S., as opposed to American ones. China would buy up capital and increase its influence in the U.S. at a far quicker rate.

@jaybird321 The harsh reality is that if you restrict American companies from outsourcing, they won't be able to compete against the foreign companies that do outsource.

The government isn’t realistically going to manage the economy correctly, they’re corrupt, and they will never even completely understand Keynes in the first place.
Central planning of an economy isn’t just about economics — it’s also about politics.

The only way to stop outsourcing is to boycott the companies. The way to find out is not by asking the corporation but by calling customer care to see if someone happens to lack knowledge of customer service skills. If it is true do not do any kind of business with that company and give them reason that they outsourced the job thats why. Therefore, more jobs would be created. The economy of the western world will be better.

Outsourcing is needed for comapnies to be compeditive and keep their prices low. If Americans were not such cheap asses that care more about the price than the quality this wouldn't be happening. There are products and services made in the USA, but people would rather buy the cheaper product made overseas. When the product fails they will just buy a new one. The days of even going and getting a product repaired is gone.

Or it is like almost everybody in the country becomes gay, and the responsibility of child bearing is given to female workers in some foreign country.

what u call- "outsourced wealth" is only 15-20% of India. 80% of India is all "VILLAGE" (get it). millions of farmers, labor & small scale industries just died (I literally mean it - they 'DIE') when ur Monsanto, ur Caterpillar Inc, ur MNC Food chains landed. our '3rd WORLD COUNTRY' voices r never heard on this YouTube or ur CNN, our politicians don't give a shit. On other hand..after years of 'Couch-Potato-ing' Americans suddenly realized tat they r jobless..n when they squeal!!! here we go

@RudraHanuman So I guesse the shitty conditions of your country are our fault. Let me ask you something...cuz I've been DYING for a straight answer. If you people hate the standard of living your country provides...then why do you have children? Is it some duty to 'God', is it cuz you don't know anybetter, is it cuz your sure that one day THEY will be successful, or is it just sheer stupidity? Do you think your children will actually THANK YOU for bringing them into that kind of life?

@NBTY4ever Standards of living vs population growth. answer - Italy has the lowest fertility rate, Europe was at one time worried abt diminishing growth rate..but still the standards of living, medical science is well advanced ! I mean.though our pop. rate is high, stndrds of living is very poor...atleast a major chunk of pop. is suffering.
I'm not blaming ur country for these shitty conditions(no way). I'm just trying 2 say- "globalization ALSO has adverse effects on either sides of the globe"

@NBTY4ever Do you think your children will actually THANK YOU for bringing them into that kind of life? (u touched a emotional point..but a gud one). answer- no they will not. Tats the reason..we always strive. "A pauper who can't take care of her self still has the right to give birth". Birth rate is great but look at the malnourished infants rate too.
I'm not blaming anyone b'cz I'm the part this system. I'm just trying 2 explain u the other side of the world which u may not know.

The truth is its not that the jobs that can done by a US citizen go to India. Its that there is more technical work than what the U.S Citizens can handle. This is due to the pace in which technology is growing.
U.S has 300 million people and how many of them do you think know how to program?
India has 1 billion people and pretty much everyone in the 18-40 age category can write a computer program and deliver professional results.

@mrchocolate4eva How do you relate the customer service jobs sent overseas or the factory jobs sent first to Mexico and then to China to programming? I don't buy that they are jobs "we won't do" rather we cant do it form what they are willing to pay. So they (corporations) go overseas and exploit foreign workers and try to get us to buy their crap and they pocket a windfall. We, and our foreign counterparts are both being exploited.

@NBTY4ever My problem has nothing to do with outsourcing, it has to do with asshole like you that bitch and moan and fan flames of hatred. Like all things, outsourcing has good sides and bad sides. You cant just blame people or companies. Companies need to lower cost, because customer demand cheap stuff. People in other countries work for lower pay because they need to live. Its all fair game. Should we reward companies that outsource, NO! should it be banned.. also NO!.

NBTY4ever 1 year ago
@NBTY4ever this is exactly the type of radical rhetoric that turn people off. Its not rocket science. Companies outsource to cheaper countries because of cost. Those countries get richer and the incentive goes away. When incentive goes away, then the jobs come back or go elsewhere. Don't believe me? read the paper. Indian companies have started outsourcing back to US and are hiring thousands of workers because now for some, its cheaper to work in the US.

Is it about cheap skilled foreign labor, or is it about saving the middle class and keeping Americans employed. Use your purchase power. Buy American locally from Americans.

Montana programmers would get Indian-written pieces of POINTS. If they found a problem, which is common in complex computer systems, getting it fixed — or simply communicating the problem to the person who actually wrote the code — took several cumbersome steps and usually several days.

The origin of this fraud:
Less than 100% of our spending / year goes to our pay / year
estimated...
new debt / year = (our spending - our pay) / year

See the pattern?

The US mainly outsources jobs that american's don't want to do. Like call centers and telemarketing.
American consumers expect to get more and pay less for the products they buy. So all manufacturing are being shifted overseas mainly in China. Labor cost in the US that its no longer competitive to do any local manufacturing.
Face it the US a nation of consumers. If more people saved money and spend less. Like right now on this recession. More people are likely to lose your jobs.
