5/26/2004 Fear Factor -- Is your job being shipped out? 7PM to 9PM, Smart Solutions
Opinion: Sending jobs to other countries stimulates trade and actually creates a stronger economy in the U.S., and in the long run, more jobs.
Opinion: The loss of jobs here in the U.S. even in the midst of a strengthening economy. U.S. Forrester says many job categories could see as much as a thirty percent shift of jobs overseas.
Companies are jumping on the cost saving band wagon to move such skills as software programming, help desk assistance, file storage and back up, and other highly technical jobs to offshore locations in an effort to cut costs. Gartner, Inc. has announced that one in 20 IT jobs will go offshore by 2004.
