American Jobs Strategy

In any given work day, I deal with coworkers from Europe and India. Most weeks, I'm working a customer issue somewhere abroad. Today was Argentina. Last week Romania. Most are in the USA. I'm always sorry to see the disruption that happens when jobs are shifted from one market where compensation is higher to one where it's lower. Let's face it, getting laid off sucks even if what used to be the funds for the compensation package that supported your family will now support three somewhere else.

A wise businessman thinks companies should have an America strategy. The guy is an Elder, he makes points worth considering. I recognize some of what he talks about in my experiences.
