Service sector jobs are increasingly outsourced to lower-cost locations abroad. The globalEDGE™ Web site has various resources that detail the nature and location of jobs that have been transferred abroad. Some experts believe the resulting foreign investment and increased demand in lower-cost countries will cause wages to rise in those countries, eliminating cost advantages from offshoring and narrowing the income gap between developed economies and low-cost countries. In other words, offshoring will help to reduce global poverty. Others believe that manufacturing jobs will be consistently moved to low-cost countries, making China and India the world’s center of innovation and production. What do you think?
