29. 29 Outsourcing: LOW-SKILL WORKFORCE 1.U.S. companies began outsourcing in the 1960’s because of the low cost of labor. 80% of the workforce lives in countries where the average wage is less than $1.00 per hour. 2.As transportation and communications improved so did the outsourcing of manufacturing jobs.
