[full-text, 15 pages]
[excerpt]
Recent reports of the widespread offshoring (substituting foreign for domestic labor) of white-collar jobs that were previously insulated from foreign competition have attracted much public attention. Although workers in manufacturing industries have long been exposed to foreign competition, trends such as falling communication costs, the rise of Internet commerce, and other technological advances have made a much wider spectrum of jobs vulnerable to relocation across national borders.This issue guide aims to provide some insight into the economics of white-collar offshoring: its causes, consequences, impact on the U.S. economy, and implications for the future.
