Offshoring inevitable, so get over it

Offshoring inevitable, so get over it.

"The movement of jobs from high cost to lower
cost countries is now inevitable and attempts by
Western governments to stop it happening are
doomed to fail.

Some higher cost countries have tried to pass
laws to stop the export of jobs but if successful
this would force a higher cost base on firms
which would then lose out to more competive firms
not so restricted. The final result of trying to
stop jobs being exported could be even the loss
of even more jobs."


Axiomatic, my dear Watson. Business moves to where
it gets the most for its money.

Think about the consequences.
