The wisdom of outsourcing applies to businesses great and small. When
companies have some of their operations performed elsewhere, they reduce
costs and allocate capital and labor instead to those activities that
cannot, or should not, be subcontracted. When businesses use capital and
labor efficiently, they can better explore expanding markets. And faster
growth creates a need for new workers. The result is almost always a net
gain in employment.

Over the past 10 years, 325 million jobs were eliminated in the US, but
342 million jobs were created. The tech industry was the site of the
latest shakeout. According to the Information Technology Association of
America, some 372,000 technologists were laid off in the recent recession.
Some fraction of those positions were no doubt moved offshore. But the
ITAA also predicts that outsourcing will create 317,000 entirely new jobs
in the US over the next four years as a result of cost savings. And
outsourcing generated 90,000 jobs in 2003 alone.
