Don't ban outsourcing; create jobs
http://www.startribune.com/stories/535/4670527.html
Excerpt:
"For good or ill, we live in a global village. Pretending otherwise is an exercise in futility. Forcing businesses, or government agencies for that matter, to ignore competitive pressures and pay higher costs of doing business will only further hobble our economy."
Excerpt:
"Instead of turning outsourcing into a lose-lose political football, our leaders should get out of the way and let the market sort out the pros and cons. Instead of pointing fingers at the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which the Labor Department estimates was responsible for the loss of more than 500,000 U.S. jobs between 1994 and 2002, we should be looking for ways to expand new businesses and encourage innovation at home.

Excerpt:
" In the long run, having this policy of free trade is going to make us more prosperous. It's why the U.S. creates jobs and countries like France don't."
Excerpt:
"This is why free trade benefits countries whether you are importing, whether you are exporting, or vice versa. Free trade benefits us because of the old notion of comparative advantage. Now, what does that mean? It's an economic term. It simply means that if we can generate more economic growth and more prosperity by concentrating on certain things, we should concentrate on those things. "



FREE TRADE - GOOD OR BAD FOR U.S. WORKERS?
by Dave Bowman, Human Resource Expert
http://www.ttgconsultants.com/articles/freetrade.html
Excerpt:
"We must realize that the world economy is changing, whether we like it or not. U.S. companies must be able to compete on the world stage, which means we must understand that our competitive advantage is not in low-end manufacturing. It is in "knowledge work" -- producing goods and services which require a high degree of skill and training. Therefore, we must let these low-level jobs go elsewhere. However, we must also fund training programs for our displaced workers. We must move these people into the better paying jobs of high-tech manufacturing, ...."
