What is outsourcing? Outsourcing is when a company finds a provider
or manufacturer somewhere else in the world
that would cost less to hire and then firing the old workers that cost
much more to hire. Therefore giving jobs
to other people besides your country. This happens every day to American companies.
Companies can afford to pay the works more money so they go over sea's where
the cost of paying someone is less. Why pay someone more money to do the same
work that someone else can do for much cheaper. But isn't this good for the
companies right? For them yes, but for the people that lost their jobs no. Sure it's
good for other people on the other side of the world to get work too, but if
this keep on happening then every job would be sent over sea's leaving millions
of people out of work.
One of
the biggest places jobs are being sent to are china and India. These places are
blooming with jobs because the people that live in these place can't find work
because they are so over populated and are willing to work for much less in able to
help support their family. Companies like Nike, Apple, Microsoft, and Forever
21 are all American companies that outsource their jobs to other non-American
people.
How
would one stop this from happening? Well we can put a tax on companies that
outsource where the tax would be enough that is would be cheaper to make in
America, and therefore they would want to move back to America. The next one
people are going to hate me for this, but is to try to put restrictions on
labor unions. I am not saying that all labor unions are bad but when people ask
for more money consistently and the companies don't have no money to give what
do you think the companies is going to consider. One rise prices on product to
enable one to get more money, and they might lost consumers. Or two, move
to another country where it's cheaper and they don't have to rise prices and
not lose consumers.
