OUTSOURCING OF AMERICAN JOBS

             In this paper, my main aim is to describe the impact of the
             outsourcing of American jobs to overseas. Addressing this issue is
             especially critically, because there are almost two schools of thought: one
             that believes on the usefulness and benefits of the outsourcing and the
             other that vehemently oppose outsourcing and focus on its negativity. For

             companies to innovate and bring new products and services quickly. The
             other positive effects of outsourcing can be seen at a global level. By

             employment and wages. Also, many of the products and services that are no
             longer considered critical in American markets can be sold at third world
             However, all of the effects of the outsourcing have not been the
             positive. The outsourcing of the jobs has created unemployment in home.
