I'm in a position it is hard to outsource. I work in an industry where the most advanced knowledge is to be found in the US. I'm more likely to replace an overseas worker than the other way around. I'm not 100% certain how I feel about outsourcing. I feel bad for workers that have lost their jobs, but I also realize that outsourcing certain non-core jobs can help relieve pressure on the overall corporation by making it smaller and more able to concentrate on core issues. I work for an oil company. We do best when we focus on oil and gas production. If we were to have a ton of IT people around here, we would partially be in the computer business and that can create corporate pressure.
