Outsourcing---To America

Clipped to the Drawing Board by jackson Browne

Some pundits and politicians love to complain about how Americans lose their jobs because of cheaper labor overseas. But many foreign companies create jobs for Americans by investing and operating in the U.S.

"International business these days is a two-way street," says Daniel F. Spulber, a professor of international business at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management.

While many jobs formerly held by Americans do go offshore, some offshore jobs are returning to U.S. soil. In fact, officials from states and dozens of municipalities actively court foreign companies, hoping they will bring new jobs to their areas.
