Word has it that there may be plans yet again to “outsource” highly skilled American jobs to other countries. Approximately 40-million American jobs could be at stake and yet U.S workers have not been told or consulted about it, until now. Just to put the number of 40-million into perspective, that is more than twice the amount of people that are employed in a manufacturing job.

According to Alan Blinder, an economist from Princeton University, the “choice” jobs of skilled Americans could be lost and given to foreign countries within the next decade or two. Some jobs that are up for grabs include computer programming, graphic design, and bookkeeping, along with several others that were once considered “skilled American jobs”.

Apparently Blinder was sitting in at the business summit in Davos, Switzerland when he heard some executives from the U.S talking about outsourcing. They were very enthralled in the fact that they could outsource so many professional jobs to lower-wage countries. [more]
