Many New Causes for Old Problem of Jobs Lost Abroad

Interesting and pretty balanced piece on outsourcing and who’s affected.

Some structural change is inevitable, and has always been part of the reality of the workplace. It’s partly the pace of change that makes the difference and partly the types of jobs that have become portable.

Am I the only one who sees any irony in the resistance to telecommuting (that might allow companies to lower costs by moving parts of their workforce into less expensive domestic real estate) at the same time as jobs move offshore?
