The paper treats aspects of recent national publicity about the off-shoring of American jobs and displacement of workers in the US.

Discussion of the contention that corporate tax codes need revision in order to protect American jobs, plus facts on how many jobs are lost due to outsourcing is provided. Lastly, this discussion shows how out-sourcing has actual benefits for American business and consumers in a greater global economy.
