Yeah Europe is a big outsourcer of jobs...thank goodness...because they outsource a lot of jobs to the USA. The USA also outsources jobs to Europe. Some Asian countries outsource too.... Outsourcing...in the idea of a huge sucking of jobs to the poorest nations....is a myth. Plus, at least in the US, most outsourcers tend to use the money saved, and made, from outsourcing to expand their domestic operations and end up *hiring* more people...creating domestic jobs. Outsourcing *isn't* a factor in loss of jobs, at least the way it's done in the US. And insourcing in a major *source* of jobs in many places...especially the US...and in Europe. _______________________________________________ Gnu-misc-discuss mailing list Gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
