Where Did All the Jobs Go? Nowhere
Topic: Business 10:44 am EDT, Sep 29, 2004

As each side angles for votes, neither is addressing the real issue: is the outsourcing of jobs a problem?

The answer is no.

Of the 1.5 million jobs lost last year in "mass layoffs", less than 1 percent were attributed to overseas relocation. Technological innovation is responsible for a far greater number of lost jobs than outsourcing.

Daniel Drezner is shining the light on outsourcing. As has been discussed here previously, many times, its not having the negative effect chicken little keeps harping on. Believe it or not, the current administration is likely correct, and Kerry is playing the violin for those of us who got hit with the layoff stick in an effort to have a real issue.

Drezner keeps a blog at http://www.danieldrezner.com/blog/ which contains some footnotes for this op-ed, along with a steady stream of clued content.
