witness what the banks are doing now. if you call customer service you may reach an operator sitting in front of a computer in india.

if the business does not keep x percent of their staff in the usa then they should be forced to change or close. how's that?
grrr.
Yes but they're trained to tell you that you've reached Houston!

Not only the banks, but every back office job which doesn't entail face to face contact with a customer or client is on the chopping block.

Business should not be forced to keep any jobs in the US, rather, we should not be so demanding of businesses to show the kind of profits that we've been accustomed to seeing during the boom years. We have nobody to blame but ourselves. People stand up and cheer at productivity when in fact they're just applauding the loss of US jobs. The same wealth creating monster also creates layoffs.
