Sure, I'd be happy to share our perspective. There are several unskilled tasks where US workers are required and where pay be sizably higher – for example, work dealing with sensitive customer data or security-sensitive content is often restricted to US nationals to comply with privacy and chain-of-custody requirements. Companies know that they're getting additional value from US workers and are willing to pay a higher price. But for the record, our workers are neither anonymous nor unqualified, which is a central advantage we have over other companies in the crowd space. This means that where we're looking, we're not talking just about unskilled labor – we're talking about all kinds of work. I wish it were as easy as you suggest to outsource work online for $5 a man-day! The rise of traditional outsourcing has certainly contributed to a loss of employment in the US over the last twenty years, but it's still incredibly difficult to outsource work online (part of the raison d'etre for MobileWorks!) You'd be hard-pressed to find too many instances of jobs that have disappeared due to online crowdsourcing in the last five years compared to the traditional outsourcing economy. Given the scope of outsourcing's effects, crowdsourcing is likely to be one of the few ways we can draw work back into the US.
