Risk Homeostasis - Drivers and Cyclists
....stuff deleted
Even service jobs aren't immune - witness the Dell tech support call center debacle. Which is why Dell is bringing many back, I predict more companies will do so in the future Having worked in the computer industry for 15+ years, it is clear that most companies will not be bringing back jobs to the US market. It is possible for people in India, for example, to live comfortably on a salary that is 70-80% lower than a comparable job in San Jose. Companies threatened to move business overseas about the time I started working in the industry because US employees were too expensive. The H1B visas allowed foreign nationals to be hired to fill technical jobs in the US even though their argument that qualified workers could not be found here was hogwash. In any case, these formerly high-paying jobs are moving to India, China, Ireland, and Eastern Europe, and away from the US. The world economy will eventually catch up, but until that happens, we can expect a gradual decrease in the US economy until the whole situation stabalizes. This has happened to Japan (as Korea, Taiwan, and China grew) and will happen here as well. Rick |
