Did you hear the one about the outsourcing of American jobs? Actually, it is about as funny as if you were to throw a boomerang into the air only to have it come back and hit you in the back of the head. If nothing else, it will surely make you roll your eyes. Or maybe you will roll hysterically in the unemployment line.
Believe it or not, one of the largest import nations of jobs that used to be done by American workers, India, is now outsourcing some of those jobs to Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay. Right now, the number is approximately 5,000 jobs. In the next few years, another 5,000 software development jobs will be heading for Guadalajara, Mexico.
And now for the below-the-belt punch line: some of those outsourced jobs to India are being outsourced to lesser-developed areas in the United States of America!
Laugh and the world laughs with you; cry and American and Indian corporate executives will turn the other way and count their profits.
