The myth of outsourcing; it gives benefits to the U.S


By Tomoe

“When a presidential election year coincides with an uncertain economy, campaigning politicians invariably invoke an international economic issue as a dire threat to the well-being of Americans(Drezner,1).”  However outsourcing cannot be a problem for American workers and the American economy.  The unemployment caused by outsourcing will be lower than expected.  Outsourcing also reduces their barriers to trade and investment.  The law and additional political pressures are also made by it.  The problem is people feel that their jobs are threatened, but it is opposite.
    

  The title, “The Outsourcing Bogeyman”,  means that outsourcing is thought of making the American business powerless, but it actually brings more benefits and “Bogeyman” shows the concerns was just imagination and untrue.  I think.
    


  The other book: The Elephant and the Dragon says “Working involving 'personal services' like plastic surgery or lawn mowing will stay in the United States, while 'impersonal services,' like jobs for movie animators and call-center operators, may move(Meredith, 83).”   Even though they lose job opportunities, those jobs are the work which not so many people need at. 
   

  The most important point is that the current trend of outsourcing business overseas gives competitiveness to the U.S.  The U.S companies can know the world economy tendency and get benefits effectively.  I mean lower costs made higher benefits. 
   
  At first, offshoring seems that the U.S. benefits go to other countries.  However, they get more benefits from outsourcing.  It can be applied our lives.  When I was a leader of the recruitment in the university, I tried to do everything by myself.  I couldn’t do so well but I changed my mind and ask my friends to cooperate with.  After I made teams to cooperate with friends, I could succeed the recruitment.  As I outsourced my jobs, I could focus on the activity which I have to do and all of the activity was complete.
