I've been thinking about this a lot recently. Lots of white collar people seemingly have a very "meh" attitude towards manufacturing getting outsourced. What will the attitude be once these white collar jobs start leaving?
- Aperocky 6y agoWage decrease in one place means wage increase elsewhere. If someone who could do my job for half of my income, maybe they should get the job. I place my future in the fact that it will be hard for employers to hire someone that can do my job (all facet of it) for half of my income. Sure there will be people slipping through the crack at that level, but hiring is a numbers game where you don't count on luck. Having worked with overseas teams in the past, I'm not particularly concerned.
