Outsourcing American Jobs to Foreign Country
Though American companies are reaping huge benefits by outsourcing
their back office operations to third world counties like India and
China, there are many technical and allied workers who are not the
least happy.
A survey indicates that many workers in developed nations feel that
companies that outsource services to other countries should be
penalized and most are of the opinion that they would lodge a
lawsuit if affected by outsourcing.
American Job outsourcing has been in news for quite sometime
and the situation seems to grow worse as more and more companies'
lay-off employees. But is the situation really that grave? Probably
not! A survey indicates that less than 10% of American workers loose
jobs due to American Job outsourcing which makes the picture
clear that the problem is somewhere else. May be people have become
rigid because of the sheer pace at which things are happening.
Many economists now claim that the situation in the West is only
temporary and the climate will change as the US economy boosts and
newer jobs are created.
Research organizations and economists are of the opinion that
business process outsourcing titles is here to stay and is going to
see a major boom. The general economy though is highly speculative
of the developing trends and feels otherwise. Organization that
research business process outsourcing are of the strong
opinion that the loss of existing jobs will give rise to newer and
better jobs in the US and UK economy. They say that the jobs will be
knowledge based and will hold a creative view. So where and what is
offshoring going for in the future is something only time will tell.
The near shore outsourcing vs. outsourcing offshore debate seems to
be picking up heat. Many companies argue that security being the
first concern near shoring is a viable solution. They feel that near
shoring helps in better and faster communications as well as better
coordination as people belong to the same time zone and have similar
cultural backgrounds. Nearshore outsourcing will certainly change
the definition of job outsourcing.
