Question by Kaitlyn R (The real me): How do you personally feel about outsourcing jobs?
How do you personally feel about outsourcing jobs?
to countries such as India, China and Mexico?

Do you feel that it has directly impacted: Consumer spending? The housing market (interest rates aside)? The recent domestic auto maker losses? What are your thoughts?

Answer by Kor
the reason to outsource is to lower the management/overhead cost. it started with outsourcing to local suppliers, then when there is need to further reduce cost, they have to outsource to cheaper countries. with cheaper product, consumer spending should not be affected. job market can be affected, which may in turn affect consumer spending. the only way to improve on the job market is to encourage people to take up new skills and get new jobs with lower pays. it is better than jobless. companies also have to move with the changes and make their own adjustments. this is more complicated and the companies need a lot of foresight to move with the changes. unfortunately, a lot of local companies fail to realise it and when they knew it, it is already too late. i don’t think the housing market and the auto maker losses are the results of outsourcing.

Recently I took position with a very competitive freight forwarding company which is aggressivly breaking into ocean and international air. The corporate office is located in SLC, Utah USA but they are seeking out independent reps to work all over the world. I will be working in China as the first Idependent rep in that region. I too desire to network as this business is growing by the day. Based on what you are saying, are you looking for partnerships or looking to see how competitive other companies are. Please advise.
