Outsourcing Jobs

Abstract: 10 pages in length. What do Morgan Stanley, General Motors, Dell, American Express, MetLife, J.P. Morgan Chase or Citigroup all have in common besides being United States-based companies? They, along with other prominent companies, have taken their collective production and customer service departments off American soil and planted them firmly within foreign countries where labor costs are a fraction of what they are back home. Just how many companies in Corporate America have jumped on this growing bandwagon is up for dispute, however. U.S. Labor Department statistics cited the loss of more than forty-six hundred jobs in the first quarter of 2004, but that figure only included large companies with more than fifty layoffs, a narrow consideration that completely ignores small companies. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
