| | Offshoring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Offshoring is defined as the movement of a business process done at a local company to a foreign country, regardless of whether the work done in the foreign country is still performed by the local company or a third-party. | | | In microeconomics, a corporation must be able to spend working capital to afford the initial costs of offshoring. | | | Each of these companies has promised or is in the process of investing at least $1 billion in India, to supposedly retain market share in the face of competition and cost-cutting measures of rivals and industry in general, at the expense of investment in the United States. |

| | Offshoring Misconceptions |
| | Offshoring, rather than being inevitable, is the result of conscious decisions and conscious economic policies that have been promoted by trans-national corporations and international financial institutions. | | | While there are a large number of hidden costs involved in offshoring high-tech and professional jobs, most companies attribute these to mismanagement of offshoring operations. | | | The profits repatriated from offshore operations are re-invested offshore; When workers here lose their jobs, they no longer have wages to spend to keep other sectors of the economy healthy. |

| | Offshoring, Import Competition, and the Jobless Recovery |
| | Business, professional, and technical services (BPT for short), many of which have been subject to offshoring activities, account for a little more than half of "other private services," with the rest consisting of educational, financial, insurance, and telecommunication services that are not themselves likely to be heavily imported as a result of overseas relocations. | | | Because the activities that are outsourced abroad are likely to use less skilled and lower-wage labor, it is possible that the job losses from offshoring exceeded the job gains associated with the growth in exports, but the magnitude of the net loss could not have been very large. | | | There is no fixed line of demarcation between offshoring activities and simple purchases of imported goods and services abroad. |

| | Some 70 percent of the U.S. economy is not vulnerable to offshoring because it is composed of services such as retail, restaurants and hotels, health care and other services that necessarily take place locally, according to a McKinsey analysis that examined the economic impact of offshore outsourcing. | | | In addition, some analysts say a greater share of the costs of insuring workers should be borne by the companies that benefit from offshoring. | | | Many economists say that outsourcing of white-collar jobs is not the primary, or even a major, reason the U.S. economy is not creating enough new jobs to make a significant dent in the unemployment rate. |

| | Offshoring refers to corporate America's recent push to cut costs by sending jobs to low-cost, highly educated regions such as India and China. | | | Now that high-speed communications and the development of educated workforces in low-cost overseas locations have made it possible, offshoring has generated so much excitement among corporations that the trend is unlikely to be reversed. | | | The study focused on occupations rather than industries, because the researchers believe that unlike previous waves of offshoring that centered on manufacturing jobs, this wave will cut across sectors and affect service and technology workers no matter what industry employs them. |

| | Backlashes against offshoring are largely due to the fact that new jobs have yet to replace all those lost, and most Americans experiencing this apparent job shortage have a difficult time chalking their unemployment up to a reorganization of US businesses. | | | Surprising news by analysts such as Evalueserve, a company that interviewed economist and offshoring experts across the globe, do forecast a labor shortage in the near future. | | | According to the McKinsey Quarterly, any job losses must be seen as part of an ongoing process of economic restructuring, a process with which the U.S. economy is well acquainted. |
