Skribentens beskrivelse af Insourcing jobs back to AmericaIn the past one of the buzzwords was “outsourcing” but in the present a big question has emerged – Will manufacturing jobs return to USA? For decades many companies have outsourced a lot of jobs to industrialized countries to a significantly lower wage with purpose to minimize cost and thus be more cost competitive. A study by the “Boston Consulting group” argues that this subject has turned 360 degrees. In the industrialized countries there has been changes in wages, currency values, supply-chain issues, productivity that have huge impact on companies competitive advantage. Do we relate to China and afterward Brazil then China’s utility costs had risen 15 % in the year 2010-2011. In Brazil the manufacturing of electric power has been estimated to be more expensive than much of Western Europe. Due to the increase this is some of the reasons why many companies choose to insource jobs back to USA, but a big question remains: Are Americans capable to do the more complex jobs? |
