what i learned in class today.

today i learned that more countries that i thought are used for outsourcing.  India ( as expected ) is the number one country we outsource to.  The one that surprised me the most is that china was ranked numbher 9 on the list of best countries to outsource to.  I thought that china would be in the top three because china is the stereotypical country we think of when we think of outsourcing.  malaysia, phillipines, indonesia, and jordan were not far behind india in the top 5.  These countries are the best because they have a low cost of operation, have good resources in their country,and have a city like environment with many buildings and businesses.

today I learned the problems that outsourcing causes.  When companies move to other countries to do their work, they may not have complete control over their workers because their society is different than ours, and may havwe trouble understanding their language.  When you cant understand the others language, they can all come together and strike against you, and you will have no idea what is going on because they speak a language incomprehensible to us.

 Also a problem with outsourcing, it could put many factory workers in one area out of jobs.  This can effect their region tramatically because many people in that one confined area will be out of work  So in a small town, other businesse3s will also suffer due to the lack of funds of the community. Their sales will go down, and the economy of the region which was deprived of factory jobs, will just continue to get worse and worse.

outsourcing

companies outsource to other countries because the wages are cheaper there, and they can afford to make more products than in america.  Workers in america make more money than people in china , or mexico, and the mexicans and chinese work harder.

Although outsourcing is cutting costs for corporations, it hurts the united states economy.  Outsourcing imporves other countries with the workers economy.  With all the jobs being sent oversees, there are not enough jobs for americans, and causes some people to be out of work
