Abstract

Over the past two decades, labor has become increasingly globalized. The integration of China, India, and the former Eastern bloc into the world economy, together with population growth, has led to an estimated fourfold increase in the effective global labor force, which could more than double again by 2050. (Willis, 1998). The first wave of outsourcing began with the exodus to developing countries of the manufacturing of shoes, cheap electronics, and toys. However, the effects of globalization did not stop there. With advances in technology, and the growth of the internet, the demand for unskilled jobs has further decreased. The first wave of outsourcing began with the exodus to developing countries of the manufacturing of shoes, cheap electronics, and toys. With the proliferation of more knowledge work jobs moving overseas, what this means for skilled labor in the United States is unclear.
