Offshoring: You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet By Jeffrey E. Garten, Business Week
For all these reasons, offshoring is the canary in the mine shaft, signaling wrenching adjustments for the American workforce. What is needed in the U.S. is a broad package of policies that do not endeavor to preserve today's jobs artificially but to create the best possible environment for the jobs of the future.
As workers seek new employment, they need the following: affordable health insurance that they can take from job to job, pensions that are equally portable; extended unemployment benefits; insurance to guarantee minimum income for periods between jobs; and tax credits or loans for education and training. These policies aren't luxuries. They are a prerequisite for the viability of a robust American workforce.------------------------------------------- posted 6:28 AM :: reference link ::
