Damn foreigners!Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

No, it isn't. Part of the problem is NAFTA, some is Puerto Rico, wherever.

There's a bunch of reasons, but management bloat is one issue - a lot of companies who don't move stuff overseas still find they can get by with leaner management to grunt ratios, and less levels of management.
A lot of it is "waitandseeitis" on the parts of both companies and capital finance.
There are some types of jobs that can be remotely outsourced, but a lot still require some form of physical presence, so they're not remotely outsourceable.
One of the big drivers for this offshore movement is not just labor costs (since you have startup costs and productivity issues), but preferential tax treatment for offshore affiliates of US companies. If you make tax treatment neutral for onshore and offshore operations, you reduce the incentive.
On the flip side, you can't have totally non-competitive pricing for fixed plant, labor, or anything else, in an open economy.When all else fails, blame brown people. | Hire a teen, while they still know it all. | Trump-Palin 2016. "You're fired." "I quit."Comment

Sure. I'm sure the rest of the world could adapt to not selling resources to the US, and not buying US products. You can't have an open market, and have all of it benefit one side.Originally posted by DinoDoc

So MtG, do you see many of these white collar jobs as being permanently lost? How will the economy restructure itself to provide for any jobs permanently lost to overseas?"I'm moving to the Left" - Lancer

While America is at it, would they mind sending some white-collar jobs to Australia? Thanks.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment
