Excellent observation.\n\nPretty soon there will be only very wealthy and poor individuals/families.  There is no job security anymore so how can anyone buy a house or other objects related to the "American Dream"?  The American dream has evolved into a nightmare.

This couldn't have been done 100 yrs. ago, let alone today.  No one in the states today wears clothes made in the USA.  We are so tangled with the Global Economy, we couldn't function if we withdrew.  There  would be no cars, computers, TV, trade of any kind, etc.  if we did that.  We have to be involved.  The question is about who is making the deals we get in, and who do they serve?  Today, we have been sold down the river by the powerful and they don't care what happens to you or your country.  We  should be telling them to go screw themselves.

American Corporation has moved their company's over to China for "Cheap Labor," To my understanding doesn't freight cost more to ship over seas, or even on a cargo plane? To me it seems that the Corporations should be loosing money. Then there's "Cheap Labor," Mexicans, Would get paid less then the average Joe, The problem here is pure simple Greed. Greed from the Government for not in forcing laws, and Pure Greed from Corporations. There wallets are getting fatter, while I have no Idea where or if I will have a Job next year?\n\nThe reason Why most Americans won't do the jobs is the number one reason "Cost of Living" Everything has gone up but not our pay. There is no way that we could survive on so little. WE are Americans We would not get any Help From the Government, So therefore; that's is why.

You're making 2 good points.  That's called offshoring and it is terrible for our economy.  The only ones who gain are the big businesses.  The common labor force in America is becoming a thing of the past and that creates a country with no middle class.  Yes I do think that they should be boycotted and penelized but I can't see any president instituting any penalties since they are all owned and backed by big business themselves.  It's so irritating getting tech support from India or somewhere not only because you can't understand them but because it's such a slap in the face to America that this job was offshored.  Thanks for the question.

I agree completely.  The corporations are at the top of this food chain here.  They need to be hit hard with the strong arm of the law in order to cut off the jobs to illegals so the illegal immigrants will turn around and return home voluntarily.

If it were me, I would look at countries with a high population that do not have adequate transportation.  More countries are expanding and you're going to have needs there as more and more people join the workforce.  What you need to do, is research to identify what countries, what their needs are and how your company can supply those needs, in a profitable manner.

This issue is overblown.  They are not suppressing democracy.  They are following the laws of the land they are operating in.  The are granted permission to operate in China and must follow its laws.  Just if any foreign company was doing business in the US, we would expect them to follow our laws.

Maybe but probably only companies based in other countries (i.e. India). ;)

I think you need to kick it higher up the food chain and let the corporate lawyers take care of it.  Mistakes happen, but I'm sure at the corporate level they have dealt with this before and can track down that customer faster than you could.  Good luck!

What makes you think that is new. Its been going on forever. Read about and follow the guidance of the Great Corporate Leaders and move your way up the ladder on your abilities. You don't have to step on toes to make it.

Not China or Mexico but:\nMy job consisted of working in several departments. Due to some of those departments going to Germany and some to Brazil, many of us were laid off, permanently. I had to find another job at 1/2 what I had been making.  I had recieved good reviews, offered raises and bonuses. I feel like our businesses shouldn't offer the raises and bonuses and then let us go, and hire temporary workers, at lower wages, to do some of the other jobs available that we could have done. I would have taken a cut in pay just to keep my benefits and seniority. We were not given that option.\n\nOur leaders do not see what the common worker has to deal with. They need to come down here and talk to US, the ones affected by NAFTA and CAFTA. Big corporations want more for less, not necessarily better quality. Quantity for the money is more important than quality. It stuffs their wallets and takes it out of ours.

This country has many laws, which don't encompass family-owned businesses, because of the unique nature of that situation.  There are international efforts by the UN, Peace Corps and Apartheid Now. You need to run a google search or be a little more specific.

I don't think it's bad yet but companies like Chevron have shipped accounting jobs to the Philippines to save on direct/indirect labor costs.   With a global job market, more Americans are going to need degrees to get ahead and even then it won't be a guarantee.  We could end up with a smaller middle class and a larger lower class.\n\nAdded:  \n\nCompanies have stopped showing any loyalty to their employees and they have put profit ahead of them.  It's all about what some ladder climber in a coporation can do to impress his boss to get a fat bonus or a promotion.  Americans seeling out Americans is all it is.

Americans aren't concerned about other Americans, or sending $$$$ overseas if they can save a buck.  That communist china is using the $$$$ to build their military, people don't care. \n\nWalmart is a good example.   Another is the way the corporations are outsourcing thousands of jobs to third world countries like Mexico, Philippines and India.
