Is Your Job Going Abroad?

"Outsourcing, before acquiring its current incendiary meaning, was referred to the practice of turning over noncritical parts of a business to a company that specialized in that activity". Now, outsourcing is more commonly known as sending the labor overseas, so the labor costs are cheaper than those of America. This could be an extreme negative for the future of work in America. The jobs we used to send over were simply "running the cafeteria or cleaning the office. Then it started moving up to corporate-service functions." With foreigners getting the American jobs, it not only is causing Americans to become unemployed, but also is building up those third-world or developing countries, such as India.
I believe this has been so utilized by Americans for one main reason. It's all about the money. If they can find cheaper labor, that means more money in their pocket, which is just what an employer wants. America will not lose jobs all together that are medical or educational. We will always need teachers, and we will always need someone to take care of us when we are sick. I believe these two types of careers, along with maybe a couple others, are safe from the constant outsourcing between America and foreign countries.
This trend is almost impossible to stop. There are a few ways to minimize the amount of outsourcing, but many would require major laws, unsure results, and upset people. In the end, it would be extremely difficult or next to impossible to completely end outsourcing altogether. However, something must be done to minimize outsourcing or America will continue to economically decrease.
