Now outsourcing has become a dirty word in the US as a majority of Americans are not in favour of it as they believe it would lead to job losses at home, according to a multi-nation survey done by a leading US think tank.
'Outsourcing has become a dirty word in the US. The Americans are not happy with this aspect of globalisation that has increased their job insecurity,' Chicago Council on Global Affairs president Marshall Bouton said here Thursday at a seminar on 'The Rise of India and China: its implications on the US'.
'Americans think Mexico, India and especially China practise unfair trade with the United States,' Bouton said while discussing the findings of the survey.

For American's, its a balance between wanting things kept cheap, and wanting jobs to stay in America. For those of us who have good jobs in America, its easier to say outsourcing is okay. For those who have lost their job at a car plant or a computer-support business, they probably don't care for it much.

there are many companies in underdeveloped countries doing a kind of work that they can not do and if they outsource it to any developed country they could do more better and also save a lot of money and time.
People who are loosing jobs in America cuz of work load being outsourced to any other under developed country, should look for those businesses in under developed countries who could outsource thier work load to them.
