What's wrong with moving jobs to rapidly developing Indonesia (more than 200 million people) or to countries like Vietnam or Thailand that have a similar work-culture to China, value education similarly, and maybe lower costs? Eventually India is going to have better roads and less corruption and lying, and then the jobs should be sent there instead, right? I doubt all those countries would be lacking enough people with skill levels for high-tech manufacturing as they invested a lot in education recentlyuncle samnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-20701062516272668542012-05-07T11:56:33.368-04:002012-05-07T11:56:33.368-04:00I find it interesting that these production jobs a...I find it interesting that these production jobs are expected to come back to the US, as opposed to elsewhere in Asia. Take for instance textiles jobs moving from Taiwan to Vietnam. Maybe the difference is the skill level associated with high-tech manufacturing vs. textile production?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-86047063061568410692012-05-07T11:03:09.439-04:002012-05-07T11:03:09.439-04:00Probably because shutting down/downsizing research...Probably because shutting down/downsizing research all together is not off shoring. In my anecdotal experience, it seemed that Chinese/Indian postdocs and grad students were more likely to return to their home country for academic positions and not private sector research jobs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
