Outsourcing

The UC Berkeley School of Business report on The New Wave of Outsourcingcites a risk of 14 million jobs being outsourced within the next decade.

A Report from Policy Matters Ohio shows that of the 199,000 Ohio manufacturing jobs lost between 1999 and 2003, one in six vanished directly as a result of international trade. In fact, 45,734 Ohio jobs lost between 1995 and October 2003 can be traced to increased imports or relocation of production out of the country.  Interested readers can also check out Policy Matters' 2003 annual report(PDF).

Some economists have claimed that lack of demand on the part of U.S. consumers is to blame for the loss of manufacturing jobs. This EPI Snapshotshows that U.S. demand for manufacturing products is in fact on the rise, and explains why increased trade deficits are responsible for the decline of the manufacturing sector.
