Made in the USA

Here is a link I found to a CNN website that list American companies that outsource our jobs. I did not see a date on it. But some big names are on it.

Here is the list of shame

Well to bad it is not here (although our employment rate is good right now, there is always room to grow) but it is in large part because of us. Read the story here

This is an example of outsourcing Jobs that should be here. American Express should be ashamed of themselves for being in the postion to be mentioned in this article.

If you have an Amex card, call them and let them know what you think. (I don’t have one)

Technewsworld.com reported that of the 7000 jobs Dell created in 2003 only 1000 where in the US (1000 jobs is great, so I want to give them credit for that), which means 6000 were jobs went to other places. OK Dell is a global company and I’m sure they need sales jobs, and offices around the world. But I would like to know where the bulk of their business comes from. Is it the US? If so why would you place your tech support call centers in India and Panama.

If you are looking for a new PC keep that in mind. When you need help, you may have to speak to someone that is outside of America. Dell computers are cheap for a reason, and hey why blame them, we keep buying them (well not me, ever again)

The state of Arizona had outsourced jobs dealing with the welfare dept to an Indian company. So they paid non-Americans to help Americans get welfare benefits. They did stop the practice as soon as the public was made aware. How many more things like this do we need to be made aware of?

Today I spoke to Delta Airlines about a reservation. The person on the other end of the line was speaking from India. Nice person, but still a little shocking.

So what do we do about this? Anything?
