Supporting Arguments for Outsourcing:Outsourcing is not a dirty word. It is a process that has been critical to economic success and expansion. Business benefit from outsourcing through saving time so they can better focus on core business competencies and by lowering costs. Veteran democratic economist, Charles Schultze, states that off shoring has had a relatively modest impact on unemployment when compared to all the other economic factors that create and destroy jobs week by week in the U.S. economy. In the short run, an increase in off shoring reduces U.S. job growth. But in the long run it improves the standard of living, increases real wages, and increases the country's economic growth.

Even at the best of times, the American economy has a tremendous rate of “churn”—over 2 million jobs a month. In all, the process creates many more jobs than it destroys: 24 million more during the 1990s. The process allocates resources—money and people—to where they can be most productive, helped by competition, including from outsourcing, that lowers prices. In the long run, higher productivity is the only way to create higher standards of living across an economy.” (Source) Quotes By Outsourcing Supporters: |
