I know whereof you speak. Many, many Canadian jobs have been 'outsourced' as well, most of them to India and China. And yes, they do work for lower wages...
But it's our companies doing it, because our companies are in business to make a profit, and in a world in which economies are getting to be more and more interconnected, it's difficult if not impossible to prevent them doing it...

I was yelling about this in the 1970, 80 and on to now but nobody was listening because they did not want to be bothered. Now it has their job which they could have saved if they had been stopping what now appears a non-stoppable issue. There are still people who say leave it alone. Or they don't like politics or God will take care of it. Read Amos... God will take care of it after it goes long enough before we take care of it and at that time the good, the bad and the retched ugly all go down. God likes us handling what we can, when we don't he does and it is not pretty.

I think it is our fault that we are served by people who do not have the love of this country it is not theirs. The jobs have been given them by people who put money before country, but that is our fault. Most people do not keep up with what is happening in the political structure which is what controls business and we are left with the dirt poor side of it all.

Of course they can pay them less. They can get as much for the payment they get as we could get for the extra. To make that a bit clearer, it cost more to live here simply because we have outsourced our jobs, our creativity and our dignity.

This is the whole problem with the outsourcing of jobs that are given to people who cannot do the jobs with the same quality the American can because of many hinderances. We are paying in two ways for those people to take our jobs.

This is quite the issue nowadays; and Americans are looking around more than they used to, with the unemployment being so high...wondering where their jobs went.

it is very sad, now when I call Time Warner the person always speaks English, but the telephone company I worked for used these people to do tech support and various other jobs, its greed and the love of money not the love of our country to keep us employed.

The companies who hire foreign people to work for them like this must do it because they can pay them less. That's sad.

I hate when I call an American company and reach some place other than America... It truly bothers me, specially when they are so rude and obviously could care less about the American business they are supossed to be representing or the American customers of that business that ultimately make it possible for them to be employed. It its come to the point that I simply hang up when I hear those thick accents , ask, and find out I am speaking to India or Mexico or any other country around the world... and NO I AM NOT RACIST for G-d's sake I am from Spanish/French descent ... many in my family including myself have accents but it burns me that so many of my friends and family have lost their jobs and those jobs are been filled abroad by less qualified people that have no pride in their work. BTW nice way of going about bringing up the subject Justi loll... you are quite the mystery writer loll xoxoxo
