[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1971957, member: 229"] The problem is really two-fold. 1. People are educated now and with college degrees in things like management and finance. Very few are willing to cross-train immediately after sinking $50k-$100k into their current career-path because some college lied to them with statistics of "booming career opportunities". When you're 17 or 18 and planning your future, you tend to believe "government statistics" and what not (the bag of tricks in some of these college recruiting media/materials is shameful). 2. Companies don't want to pay "American" salaries and are convinced that they can save money by shipping jobs overseas (they also have access to far more tax loopholes by shipping jobs into countries where they have agreements around taxes). The Executive agenda has pretty much resorted to slick-talking methods of cost-cutting and no real creativity or innovation to produce more profit. In their eyes, you don't cut costs by paying people decent salaries (or employing enough people to actually do the work). I work for a company that has done major outsourcing with all the grace of a one-legged crack-whore getting into a fist-fight with a homeless midget at a Chuck E Cheese. I could tell you some stories... oh man... [/QUOTE]
