Things to Think About

28

The Global Economyand

Outsourcing

29

Outsourcing: LOW-SKILL WORKFORCE

1. U.S. companies began outsourcing in the 1960’s because of the low cost of labor.

80% of the workforce lives in countries where the average wage is less than $1.00 per hour.

2. As transportation and communications improved so did the outsourcing of manufacturing jobs.

30

Outsourcing: HIGH-SKILL WORKFORCE

1. More recently, companies began outsourcing high-school jobs because of low labor costs:

Example: Software Engineer* U.S.A $66,100 / yr

India $10,000 / yr

2. As communication costs lowered and software packages became standardized, the outsourcing of high-skilled jobs increased.
