Global Outsourcing of Engineering Jobs: Recent Trends and Possible Implications

Ron Hiras's testimony declared that the unemployment rate among American engineers has increased to 2.0% in 2001 to 4.2% in 2002 and over 6.0% in the just the first quarter of 2003. This problem is even worse for all electrical, electronics, computer and software engineers. He does believe that continuning to move manufaturing facilities and blue collar jobs, and the growing willingness of major employers to move essential services functions and white collar jobs of all kinds to lower cost, offshore locations is a major contributing factor to our current unemployment crisis.
