Opinari.net

Opinari - Latin term for Opinion. Opinari.net is just what it seems: a cornucopia of rants, raves and poignant soliloquy.

With all of the debate about outsourcing, not many people seem to consider this fact: the movement of jobs is not a one-way street. Consider that between New York, California, Florida, and Texas, there are nearly 2,000,000 jobs from foreign companies. According to the Organization for International Investment:

"Over the last 15 years, total "insourced" jobs grew by 117% - at an annual rate of 7.8%; and total "outsourced" jobs grew by 56% - at an annual rate of 3.8%."

Yet, we don't often hear about the jobs being sent to America from abroad. It is dishonest to imply that America is losing X jobs due to outsourcing without acknowledging an opposing shift in jobs in the other direction. Yet, this being an election year, this should come as no surprise.
