how does outsourcing jobs to foriegn countries help provide jobs for americans?

Yes:\ncompanies pay less, which in turn makes for cheaper services, and higher profits for innovation and more technical jobs.\n\nNo:\ncompanies are greedy and make you pay the same. They see the outsourcing as just a way to boost profit rather than provide cheaper services. The money stays among the top 1%

first you have to get a job with an american-owned institution, and they will help you obtain documents you need such as work visas.

because americans underpay china to make them...that's why a lot of products and services get outsourced...it's cheaper on the company

Outsourcing is when a company sends jobs that where previously in the U.S. to another country because the wages there are lower. Some say it weakens our economy because people lose jobs while others say it strengthens it because our goods and services are cheaper. You decide.

Outsourcing is the biggest thing killing our economy right now. (US economy that is). \n\nIt is not just a factor of cheap labor. It is the first step in losing all of our big companies. If all the workers are overseas what is the point in having managers here? If all the managers are overseas what is the point in having a board here? People are not just exporting other people's jobs they are exporting whole industries. \n\nA second aspect on this is that we really don't make anything here in the US any more. If all our ports were shut down for even a few months much of America would come to a screaching halt. We would have empty shelves and no replacement parts. So for the last 20 years we've traded on information and technical ability. Both of those are now in dire risk. The slashing of R&D budgets combined with oursourcing means we will literally be out of the information and technology business. Most of the major software in use today started from a programmer who was employed full time writing code for another company. Not by employees of companies like Microsoft who merely steal or buy the software. If these programmers cannot make a living writing code they do not sharpen their coding skills to write the next great inovations in software. The majority of Open source programmers are employed as programmers for companies, some even use some company time on open source projects. So this outsourcing threatens both our comercial and free software markets. If Western programmers are not hacking out code for a living it will be Indian, Chinese and Russian coders writing the next Oracle, the next great game, the next whatever is needed down the road. It is they who will have the expereince and expertise not us. \n\nIT and the net were saviours to our broken economy in the 80s. The 90s we flourished mostly because of an ineffectual series of presidents and the boom in IT. This boom triggered so many ripples in the US economy that many service industries are now coupled to IT and high tech. As the jobs flow overseas these jobs will dry up as well as the information workers creating even less demand for what we still produce here in the US. \n\nAs for tarrifs they have to be enacted now. If we wait another 5 years it will be too late. Too much of our knowledge base will be outside of our control and our talent will have been religated to the dust heap. This is a major ecnomic crisis which severe impacts for everyone in the nation. The tent cities so many have forgotten will return in the near future if we continue to outsource. \n\nIllegal imigrants are a major problem. Nowhere as big as outsourcing. What is happening is that when everybody went to information management it created openings for imigrants in trades and other semi-skilled jobs. So today a night stocker, a construction work are now working for wages dictated by what people can pay illegal imigrants. Our entire wage scale and standard of living is being decimated by the sheer numbers of illegals we have here and the entrenched structure they have built. Once a job falls into Illegal's hands is very difficult for American's to get on those crews. If they do an American cannot live on those wages without living in the poverty ridden life of an illegal. Many displaced information workers looking to return to previous proffesions are no blocked by illegals. The true unemployment rate, not the joke perpetrated by the Gov is rapidly rising. To aggravate this so many that have ducked into education over the last five years will be graduating to deep debt and no jobs. People with handicaps or strikes on their records will become long term unemployable as the compitition has risen so steeply for what jobs exist. Those that lose a job are often looking at 1-2 years of seeking to find a job that pays a fraction of their previous wages and they feel lucky if they find work in their same field. \n\nLegislation and environment are two factors that hurt employmen

Legally "Any" US company that has the neccessary "resources" can sponsor any "skilled" laborer for their need and can prove to the Govt. that they cannot find a suitably qualified US Citizen for the same position can sponsor someone witb the necessary skill - education and/or experience to prove.\n\nHope this makes sense.\n\nAs the previous answerer said there are a lot of consultancies which hire Software professionals for their clients' needs.\n\nYou can always find someone through friends, friends of friends who are in the US.

I am curious, did you get your education and experience in the U.S. and now want to take that to India?  Here are some leads for you but must say that all the outsourcing, i.e. 300,000 KPO openings at one company alone, does not make India real popular with the working class American.\n\nhttp://www.rediff.com/money/2006/apr/11sym.htm\n\nhttp://www.rediff.com/money/2006/apr/11sym.htm\n\nhttp://www.bangaloreclassifieds.com/\n\nhttp://job-seekers.placementindia.com/bangalore/medical/sales_marketing_male_jobseekers.htm

Most anybody can hire you in the USA. It depends on your  experience and what you really want. It is easier for foreigners to get a job in the USA then for Americans to get a job abroad. I know this from experience. Create a well written accurate resume and make a list of places you want to work and go for it.

It seems to me that almost everything that the US uses is made in another country. This in turns makes up dependent upon foreign countries for things we could make in the US. The funny thing about this is the US people would not work for the same wages that the foreign people are paid to do such taxing , monotonous work. Have you ever heard anyone request subpar conditions and $0.15 a day in the US??? I doubt it.....

The government does not outsource jobs, private companies do.  We live in a free-market economy. The government can't restrict private companies from doing business outside the US.  Competition in business is what leads to better products.  It also keeps the price of goods reasonable.  Companies have to find an edge to stay competitive.  Why shouldn’t companies do business somewhere else if it can be done cheaper?  This may lead to a few jobs being lost when a company moves, but those people need to do what they can and find a new job.  Employment has never been guaranteed here.

I don't know where you are from, but right now AMERICANS are having trouble finding good jobs!

Eliminating taxes on business would be a good start.  Those taxes are all passed along to the consumer anyway.  It's intellectually dishonest to try and claim that "The Business" pays them, as though they're subtracted from the profits of the owners.\n\nTwo benefits would result.  First, without the tax burden, American products would be more competitive in the world market.  This would increase sales, which would lead to more employment as manufacturers react to the increased demand.  \n\nSecond, this strategy would create an incentive to keep jobs at home rather than outsource them.  Even with things as they are there are more jobs in-sourced to the U.S. than outsourced to other countries.  If the U.S. were to become a business tax haven, there would be a flood of companies relocating jobs here.

I've never heard of them.  As someone else said if they ask for money it's a scam.  American companies can sponsor certain foreigners, BUT they can only do it for certain highly technical jobs were there are not enough americans qualified for the job.  The company will take care of this if this is the case.  Again this is only for highly technical jobs though.  If they offer work for things such as office work, manual labor, etc then they are not going to be legally able to sponsor since there is plenty of americans for those jobs.

Nope. Americans have it good, and they can have it better by working.

It would help if you define what you mean by 'supplemental wages'. It sounds to me as though that's a term used outside the US
