What are the negative effects of outsourcing jobs?
The main negative effect of outsourcing is it increases U.S. unemployment. Outsourced jobs are often more than the number of unemployed Americans. If all those jobs returned, it would be enough to hire millions who are working part-time but would prefer full-time positions. 1 That assumes the jobs could, in fact, return to the United States.
Will outsourced jobs return to the United States?
The 14.3 million outsourced jobs are more than double the 5.9 million unemployed Americans. If all those jobs returned, it would be enough to also hire the 4.3 million who are working part-time but would prefer full-time positions. That assumes the jobs could, in fact, return to the United States.
Is outsourcing the biggest threat to unemployment in America?

Technological growth in automated intelligence could very well replace many human jobs, enormously impacting the U.S. job market in the eminently near future.
What does outsourced work mean for employees?
