Outsourcing Clash Heats Up Election Campaigns
With John Kerry almost certainly destined to emerge victorious from the Democratic primary fray, he is turning up the heat on the hot-button topic of overseas outsourcing -- and the Bush administration is preparing to respond in earnest.

The overall US$10 billion IT outsourcing market still makes up less than 3 percent of global spending on information technology services, according to research by consultancy Brean, Murray & Co. However, the recession of 2000-2001 and the achingly slow economic recovery have made outsourcing a flashpoint issue for many U.S. citizens and corporations.

After all, outsourcing is good for companies. General Electric, for example, has saved an estimated $300 million per year -- $30,000 per job -- by sending some process-related positions to India. But laid-off workers' chances of finding another job at a comparable salary seem increasingly dim.
