Job outsourcing soon to slow down?
 

Over the past several years many companies have outsourced jobs (in-bound call centers) to Eastern European / Asian countries. Often times calling up support for companies such as Microsoft and Dell to name a couple, you will find yourself speaking with someone with an Indian accent for instance. As of late however the economy in those nations has been on a rise, causing increase in salary.

"If the cost of labor continues to rise in Asia, American companies may have less incentive to continue outsourcing work there--especially as they continue to face political pressures to employ U.S. citizens."

and there was much rejoicing...

yaaaaaay

all i have to say is, thank fucking god.

i need money.

We need the United States to become the corporate haven that it was after the Civil War, World War I, and World War II ... three eras in American and World History that separate the US from other world powers. THis is something that, despite being generally conservative, something that Republicans have yet to take up ... and America loses out in it.

Taxes must be reduced for American corporations, who are currently carrying as large a tax burden as they did before World War II -- Before our actual implementation of widespread income taxes. America will benefit from it.

Enter the sector America has comparative advantage in and you'll have job security: ignorant white trash. You heard me!

Optometry is acceptable as well.

Stop this arguing and read terlit talk, you disgusting pigwash.

The reason we were so prosperous after ww2 was we were the only major world power that didn

But what it comes down to is that a company would "have to" raise prices if they produce things in America... the american labor force will not settle for minimum wages for production work. Even if we start paying the chinese 5 dollars an hour, it still would turn out to be less costly. The problem really is coporations and their desire to give million dallar bonuses to CEO's who "save money (I have a good idea to save another million dollars...let's not pay these bitches this cash). But this is just an all around bitchfest from me... sorry. I am the son of two factory workers... it's the sort of thing I have always been raised around.

You can't have it both ways. You can't have "worker's rights" without sacrificing the availability of businesses... Unless the businesses are compensated for offering "worker's rights." A business should be given a tax incentive to stay in the United States, or in certain areas that need them. No business wants to give a CEO a million dollar bonus because they lose investors who are majoritively not CEOs, who give the company their expendability.

The main reasons outsourcing is stopping is because while our economy suffered, China, Hong Kong, Japan and next possibly Africa's economies have prospered. We'll be as poor/rich as the rest when they run out of places to send our wealth to. The great equalizer. Noone wants to hear the indian voice on the other side of the phone. Likewise, seeing 'Made in America' has a certain charm to it. Unless its a car. ;)
