American Workforce Or Pod People

September 12th, 2008 by Leonard Birdsong


Dee Dee is on a roll when it comes to the disappearance of the mainstream workforce. 

Take note. We know that banks and credit card companies initially outsourced their customer service jobs from the North to the South (often to Florida) or to the West, where salaries were lower, land to construct offices were cheaper and benefits discretionary and unions were not the norm.  Most of these companies have since transferred these offices overseas to India and the Phillipines. 

What was criticized as sweat shops where female immigrants sewed clothing for the US fashion industry on 7th Avenue in New York City for Americans to wear (look for the union label of yore), have left the country for good.

Those jobs not outsourced are slowly being filled by the “pod people”.
