One in nine American jobs is vulnerable to outsourcing. This represents more than 14 million jobs in total (Hira 2). Guaranteed protection against the impending economic crisis is not certain. According to the Merriam-Webster, outsourcing can be described as obtaining goods or services from an outside or foreign supplier. The origins of outsourcing date back to the first industrial revolution, when business tycoons began looking for new methods to increase revenue while minimizing expenses. Similarly, business tycoons of the 20th century continue to practice the same ideals of increasing profit per capita. Moreover, these techniques have evolved to evoke the very example of outsourcing that is vitiating the American economy today. Although some entrepreneurs may view outsourcing as a tricky business strategy, outsourcing has surreptitiously caused irreversible harm to today's economy by causing unemployment rates to escalate, allowing greedy companies to profit with one hand -underpaid foreign labor, which favored globalization. Outsourcing has damaged the U.S. economy by precipitating job losses across the country. Unemployment continues to experience increasing rates as various companies continue to exploit the outsourcing paradigm. As a result, persistently high unemployment rates delay economic recovery (Goldberg 1). In particular, the employment rate is a direct reflection of the health of an economy. For the economy to strengthen, citizens must make contributions such as purchasing goods and paying taxes. Unfortunately, unemployed people without income cannot contribute to the economy.
