Study Shows Tech Outsource Fears Unwarranted

Re: Study Shows Tech Outsource Fears Unwarranted

Yes, the article explains that tech outsourcing is not hurting
America but the article goes on to state that it is the perception
of American tech outsourcing that hurts the nation's economic
competiveness.

Confusingly, the article then quotes that outsourcing may be good
for the economy and bad for the person who loses their job.

Examination of the actual report rather than Steve Lohr's summary is
needed to be more objective:

As for the person losing their job, like you said, outsourcing is
simply the way successful businesses trade world wide and this is
how it has always been. Our hope lies in the fact that something
first must be imagined and invented. New products must be explained
to customers and marketed to suppliers and successfully entered into
the marketplace. All of this requires aptitudes that are more
difficult to outsource including imagination, empathy, and the
ability to forge relationships. I believe it is these aptitudes,
queried in the article's final paragraph, that are the right mix to
climb the economic ladder.
