"The Globalization And Offshoring Of U.S. Jobs Have Hit Americans Hard
In recent years, the United States has experienced millions of jobs being relocated overseas. The impact of this trend has been particularly pronounced in the country's trade relationship with China. Since 2001, the U.S. trade deficit with China has resulted in the loss of approximately 3.82 million American jobs, with manufacturing sectors bearing the brunt of this exodus.

Additionally, India has been a major destination for offshored white-collar jobs, particularly in software and back-offices services, while Mexico is the most popular country for American expatriates, followed by Canada, Portugal and Singapore.

The U.S. stands as a dominant force in global outsourcing, with a significant majority of American businesses embracing this practice. A striking 66% of U.S. companies outsource at least one department. This trend translates to approximately 300,000 American jobs being outsourced annually, reflecting both the scale and impact of this business approach. The economic implications are substantial, as the U.S. market alone generates $62 billion of the $92.5 billion global outsourcing industry, according to data from Radix."




I doubt many people consider that every American manufacturing job sent overseas means that an American worker is not paying federal, state, or local taxes, social security, medicare, buying a house, buying a car, buying from local businesses, or donating to charity. The corporations and their bought off politicians are doing well though.
 
Globalists suck. Globalism is just another way for the rich to drain money from the poor.

Globalism is like crossing the street against the light. Globalists don't like nations because they're inconvenient. They don't like local laws because they have to pay lawyers and lobbyists to do business. They don't want to wait for the light to turn green because they might miss a customer.

Most Democrats don't realize they're in bed with globalists. The globalists appeal to leftard morality, but their real interest is money. DEI is all about customers. Immigration is about customers. The whole thing is about not paying for opening markets, they want the public to pay so they don't have to.
 
This crime against Americans is a bipartisan one.
This may be a bit over played. Sure, we got lots of things to complain about but imho this isn't one of them. Here're the historic levels of employment % population:

Some how I don't see a crisis in that direction.

Good jobs leaving and bad jobs staying is the problem... we are trading manufacturing jobs and High tech jobs for burger flipping jobs that the illegals are taking...
 
Bush I started that and Clinton and the next Bush continued it.

Actually, it began much earlier in the 60's and 70's, but it really took off in the 1990's.

Employment stats (numbers) do not account for the "qualification" of a job - nor it's income structure - furthermore less qualified jobs harm an economy overall even more.

It's all about corporate profit. How many times has American technology developed a product and within two-three years the product is manufactured in China, Indonesia, or Mexico at cheaper costs. Good example is Computer chip manufacturing. Good example IBM facilities in Fishkill and Endicott NY closed and scheduled for demolition.

I guess that’s why unemployment is so high!
 
What kind of jobs? A machinist or a hotel maid?

Unfortunately, America has lost it's industrial production capacity and strength. We've closed the majority of our manufacturing plants that includes the basics, iron, steel, aluminum, lead and copper not to mention finished goods.,
Even our the majority of automobile parts are manufactured offshore and then assembled here.
Basically we've become a service oriented country. This IMHO has weakened America's Defenses and security.

There is no doubt about it.

Sounds like you're agreeing w/ me that the title of this thread is wrong and the fact is that there've been no loss of jobs. You mention income but you don't show any numbers to explain what you mean. When I look at real (adjusted for inflation) incomes I see years of increases.

That's pretty much the idea that Mac-7 was sharing and I'm still at a loss to understand how y'all are coming to that conclusion. If the pay is increasing and the hours are less and it's acceptable employment then why complain?
