Outsourcing The American Dream By George J. Bryjak, opednews
The ramifications of outsourcing are staggering not only for individuals whose positions are terminated, but for the larger society. Unemployment and underemployment (working below one's level of skill and training) will contribute to a shrinking tax base, as already financially burdened city, county and state governments cut back personnel and services. In a nation where 15 percent of the population has no medical coverage, that figure can only increase as most people secure health insurance through their employment.
Fewer good-paying jobs will await college and technical schools graduates as the societal opportunity structure is diminished. The upward mobility of African-Americans, Latinos and other minority groups playing catch-up will be slowed.------------------------------------------- posted 5:23 AM :: reference link ::
