M
"It takes jobs away from my country and by employees wont like it"
D
Global Insight says that rather than reducing the number of jobs in the U.S., offshoring is lowering costs for everyone and actually creating jobs, thanks to a more efficient economy. It says that about 194,000 new jobs-both IT and non-IT-were created in 2003 thanks to offshore IT outsourcing, and by 2008 the number will reach over 589,000. For instance, if a small company uses a team of offshore programmers to develop a new product, the company may have to hire additional sales and support staff in the United States to manage the product. In turn, sales of the product help drive the economy.

Thus, by outsourcing you are not being unpatriotic but rather helping your own business florish where you will employ many more people and contribute to your community and economy as a whole. You can help manage staff concerns by welcoming them to oversee and collaborate on projects. The household employment survey of Americans indicates that there are 1.9 million more Americans employed since the recession ended in November 2001. There are 138.3 million workers in the U.S. economy today-more than ever before.
