Businesses outsource as many processes as they can most
any job that doesn`t have to be performed onsite will be
outsourced. White-collar jobs that require years of study and
come with a six-figure salary in America can be outsourced to
foreign countries for a salary of U.S. minimum wage or less.
These jobs were highly skilled and sought after in the United
States. They were some of the best paying jobs. Any business
process that doesn`t have to be completed on U.S. soil won`t be.
Millions of white-collar jobs have and are continuing to be
outsourced (Armour and Kessler 2003).
Knowledge-related jobs can be completed anywhere in the
world where there are educated people. Software companies,
banks, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, architectural
firms, and others are outsourcing educated jobs that
Americans once did and earned a good salary on. These
millions of jobs that are being sent all over the world include
such things from radiologists to software designers. The
foreign workers usually get paid less than U.S. minimum wage
(Roberts 2003).
It has been argued that offshore outsourcing creates more
jobs for Americans that are better jobs than the ones
outsourced. But any new jobs created are usually outsourced
