During those latter years of the 20th century, outsourced jobs were mainly blue-collar manufacturing jobs, says Hira, an assistant public policy professor at the Rochester (N.Y.) Institute of Technology and co-author of “Outsourcing America: The True Cost of Shipping Jobs Overseas and What Can Be Done About It.”
The offshoring pool expanded in 2002 and 2003, Hira tells Newsmax, adding, “Now, white collar workers’ jobs are up for dibs” at an accelerating pace that some say could put 40 million jobs at stake.

From illegal immigration to outsourcing, American workers have turned into willing, voiceless sheeple afraid to rise up against the corporate masters and reclaim the industries we pioneered and made successful . . . It's time to wake up America
I'd say America's chickens are coming home to roost in this perfect storm of a recession, outsourced jobs being one of the major components. The net total of jobs that have moved overseas has surely hurt those that have been laid off by the companies that were courageous enough to keep their businesses operating here in the U.S.

Agreed. That being said if corporations want to ship jobs overseas, then they should be forced to move their entire operations to said 3rd world countries. But that won't happen because they will not get the tax write offs, or have the consumers necessary to keep them afloat.
They also know that the governments of 3rd world countries will rob and pillage them every chance they get.
Despite the fact that they are destroying America's middle class, they don't care because for them, it is more lucrative to ride 2 donkeys with one ass.

It's just corporate capitalism. Chase that profit no matter what.
I think it's funny in a bitter kinda way that outsourcing wasnt a problem, perfectly logical, tough beans for you, until it began to affect white collar workers.

You really are ASSuming far too much. You don't know me or anything about me.
Do yourself a favor and read the TOS. Hopefully it will assist you in refraining from highjacking threads, waging personal attacks and making such ASSinine ASSumptions.
I'm in high tech. Those jobs have been going to the BRIC's since 2000. Now Vietnam is the new place for programming since it's cheaper than either China or India.

I know you guys have been under attack for a while now. I'm sorry to hear that you've been victimized by the corporate masters.

What are you talking about?
Im not talking about you, why would I? I meant "you" as in "workers whose jobs were outsourced." What the still-employed were saying, then, to those who had lost their jobs to outsourcing. Who believed their own jobs werent in danger further down the road. Get me now?
Your interpetation doesnt even fit grammatically.
What hijacking the thread?
What's with you and "Ass" btw? "two donkeys with one ass," now all these... kinda unwholesome if you ask me.
When the high tech jobs started leaving there was nowhere to go but down.
When blue collar left they all got told to retrain for white collar..brain jobs.
Now these very white collar jobs have left so it's downgrade to a service job..one that has to physically work with something as the other service jobs have left too.
I have a 4 year degree in Engineering and once my job gets offshored (and I have no illusions that it won't) I'll have to look in another field.
