Human Supply Chain: Jobs, Outsourcing, and Global Competition

If you think it’s more difficult to find a good job in America today, you’re right. But, why is it more difficult to find a good job  in the U.S. today? Companies will say that many American job applicants don’t have the knowledge, experience, and skills necessary to do the job. So, how do they get qualified workers? Many companies say that they have to outsource the work to job applicants from India, China, and other countries. Job hunters in the U.S. say companies are outsourcing work solely to workers elsewhere to save themselves money and increase their profits. Higher profits makes stockholders happy. But, what if neither of their opinions is the real reason that finding a job in a global economy is more difficult that it was a generation ago? What if the real reason is simply a matter of who has the biggest human supply chain? After watching this video, it seems the problem for the American workforce may have nothing to do with education or corporate greed. It has more to do with the human supply chain and the challenge of living in a quickly changing world.

Great questions. I think, it's the people who made it possible.
It's time for the people anywhere in the world to update their skills and not to just focus on one field to be ready for possible happenings in the future like what happened this time (the recession).
