There’s no question that the American people would like their government to take a stand against companies that send jobs overseas. A Zogby International poll found that 71% of Americans believe that outsourcing jobs overseas hurts the U.S. economy, and 62% say the U.S. government should tax or legislate to try to stop the job loss.
Yet virtually nothing has been done. "We need some creative solutions here," says Ron Hira.
We need to impose stricter laws on outsourcing and provided equal pay and benefits to foreign labor. Not only is this the humane thing to do, but it could also prompt corporations to keep jobs in America. Corporate profit margins are in the Millions and Billions. Corporations can afford to pay employees and keep their jobs in America.
