| Summary: | "Outsourcing America presents the facts and clarifies the many complex issues presented by outsourcing: its impact on our jobs and economic outlook, our national security and global standing, and our future." "The authors identify the ten major reasons employers send jobs overseas. Apart from lower wages and salaries, companies benefit from favorable tax policies, access to emerging markets, and other incentives - including the fact that companies face no penalty for destroying their U.S. jobs. The book also articulates the profound effect that outsourcing is having on educational and career trends, and how developing nations like India and China are retaining top talent that previously would have come to the United States." "Outsourcing has indeed become a crisis, but not because it is inherently bad - it is both good and bad. The key - and the imperative - is to maximize its benefits while mitigating its many negative consequences. Outsourcing America provides the necessary steps to confront this snowballing challenge and bring more high-paying jobs back to the U. S."--BOOK JACKET. |
