#of outsourced jobs each month?

[oscar111]

Where might we quickly see the no. of usa jobs trotting out to India, china, mexico etc each month,?

We need that stat every time the usual "new jobs created by Bush" stat is blasted everywhere.

1. was just wondering about this.

According to a survey done by Labor for the first quarter of '04, they determined that only about 9% of jobs lost are or were due to outsourcing.

I can't find much on this right now or any other analysis either supporting or disputing it.

So, the other 91% are due to straight down-sizing? business failure? ceos who need more money so we have to cut loose another 200?

I'll keep looking but maybe I've overlooked some obvious places for discussion.

I did a search in DU and couldn't find much.

2. look on our forum

I've posted a series of articles in the news/articles section
that blast the unemployment statistics as manipulated and the latest
BLS outsourcing study is seriously underestimated.

they also do not count Americans who are fired and replaced with
foreigners through H-1B, L-1 Visas as well as normal job growth
that should happen in the US, but instead they hire overseas...
plus many multinationals "pick off" employees < 50 at a time which
is not reported as well as a large percentage of corporations refused
to answer the BLS.
