The True Cost of Shipping Jobs Overseas and What Can Be Done
About It Ron Hira and Anil Hira, with a Foreword by Lou
Dobbs One of the most controversial topics in the news is
the outsourcing of American jobs to other countries.
Outsourced jobs have extended well beyond the manufacturing
sector to include white-collar professionals, particularly
in information technology, financial services, and customer
service. Outsourcing America reveals just how much
outsourcing is taking place, what its impact has been and
will continue to be, and what can be done about the loss of
jobs. More than an exposé, Outsourcing America shows how
offshoring is part of the historical economic shifts toward
globalism and free trade, and demonstrates its impact on
individual lives and communities. In addition, the book now
features a new chapter on immigration policies and
outsourcing and advice on how individuals can avoid
becoming victims of outsourcing. The authors discuss
policies that countries like India and China use to attract
U.S. industries, and they offer frank recommendations that
business and political leaders must consider in order to
confront this crisis--and bring more high-paying jobs back
to the U.S.A.
