Exporting America

In the book Exporting America , CNN’s Lou Dobbs discusses the outsourcing of high-tech jobs by American multinational corporations and even federal-, state- and local-government entities in his unabashed polemic against what he sees as a perilous trend for America.

General Electric, as Dobbs points out in abundant detail, is only one of many companies outsourcing high-tech and professional jobs to India and other parts of the world where wage expectations are lower. Among the others spotlighted by Dobbs for outsourcing jobs to India, the Philippines, Romania, Ireland, Poland and other countries are IBM, SAS Institute, Intel, Microsoft, Perot Systems, Apple, Computer Associates, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Oracle and Sun Microsystems.
