The problem is that every day fewer Americans benefit from that belief. Only those at the top fully benefit from exporting American jobs to other countries. If we don’t wake up soon and realize that there is a great benefit to being loyal by keeping jobs here in the US, we will become the 2nd or even 3rd world countries of the past.
Recently worked a project in the Caribbean for a company that “nearsources” customer service (actually collections) for several large US companies.
I discussed this issue with the manager, who is American. His POV is that nearsourcing benefits both the host country and the US. That exporting these low-wage, low-skill jobs is a lot easier on the US economy than importing the people to fill them in the US. If they immigrated and did the same job in Cleveland, they would consume a lot more American resources than they return to the local economy with their low incomes.
FWIW.
