Juran said in his "Quality Improvement in the Workplace" series that you have to give employees a method of measuring how they are doing so that they will know if their performance compares to others.
We do not track the data, but I will bet all four houses that I owned in 2002 that our corporations have sent 24 million jobs offshore. The only way to bring those jobs back is to start tracking those numbers by requiring that the corporations report on their annual and quarterly report how many employees and temp employees they have in CONUS and OCONUS. Then we will be able to see where the real problem is. For now we just continue to point fingers at one another and tell me this Leland. What would it hurt to track those numbers? Believe me, if I'm wrong, I have no problem with you spreading it all over the World. But what if the stories that I receive on my site are correct and its not the excess numbers of boomers, etc.?
