Americans have done a great job of competing in things like manufacturing by inventing machines to make existing workers more productive.<br /><br />Some jobs, like running a cash register, have not made efficiency gains. Most of those jobs are tethered to the work site and can't be outsourced but answering the telephone can, and so it has. That's reality, and we should be glad we are able to hire poor people in other nations to work these jobs for us.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00427964335321253510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279973426476621559.post-58415634721219592942012-07-16T21:11:31.072-04:002012-07-16T21:11:31.072-04:00people are always upset when they speak with peopl...people are always upset when they speak with people from India or elsewhere, saying they are taking our jobs. What, for some reason, is not understood is that there would be no jobs in america if it weren't for the others taking those jobs. Most, if not all, companies would much prefer to have all of its workers live and work in America, however it is not financially viable. in order to keep at least some jobs in america, some must be outsourced. It is much cheaper to pay someone 300 dollars total a month than 1600 and more a year plus benefits. If Americans want to bring jobs back to America, we need to scale back our demands for benefits and learn to live with less money<br />JoelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
