Offshoring

Three million jobs have been lost in the past three years. Many of these jobs were lost to "off-shoring," the exporting of American jobs by large corporations. According to a Berkeley study, 14 million jobs are still at risk. This means that one of every nine American workers may lose their jobs to off-shoring!

One of my off-shored friends created this website to help keep Americans aware of which companies STILL DO NOT OFF-SHORE. The list is quite interesting. If you think this effort might help awaken American workers to the danger of off-shoring, then please forward this link to work associates, friends, and family!
