Outsourcing Hits Close to Home for Workers in Northwest Ohio By Homer Brickey, The Blade
While thousands of manufacturing jobs in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan moved to Mexico, China, and the Far East, the movement has spread. Hundreds of thousands of American white-collar jobs nationwide are going overseas too. Many of those have moved to India.
'We kind of thought it was OK to outsource blue-collar jobs, but now that white-collar jobs are being outsourced, we're waking up to what that means,' said Bruce Rumpf, president of Job1USA, an executive-search and temporary staffing firm in Toledo.
'If people who are used to making $70,000 can't find work, what are we going to retrain them to do? Our economy will ultimately suffer: They're the ones who buy houses, cars, and clothes.'------------------------------------------- posted 7:06 AM :: reference link ::
