 BEFORE WE VISION Things to Think About

28 The Global Economy and Outsourcing

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. Textiles Televisions Shoes Stereos Radios VCRs Toys Auto parts

30 Outsourcing: HIGH-SKILL WORKFORCE 1.More recently, companies began outsourcing high- school jobs because of low labor costs: Example:Software Engineer*U.S.A $66,100 / yr India$10,000 / yr 2.As communication costs lowered and software packages became standardized, the outsourcing of high-skilled jobs increased.
