Outsourcing to India

The demand for skilled Indian labour in IT is big and growing in the US. But as more US jobs move to India, the constraints of supply of skilled, English-speaking professionals are likely come to the fore. If this leads to a drop in service quality, American businesses, already under attack for fuelling job losses in US, may be forced to close their operations in India. The experience of Ireland, which in recent years has seen a reversal of the growth of outsourcing serves as a warning example.
