The Outsourcing of Jobs is a politically charged issue -- especially in an election year. Shipping white collar jobs to countries with well-educated and much lower paid workers is a growing trend in this country -- NH is no exception. Cindy Kibbe of "New Hampshire Business Review" has written a series of articles on the issue called: "Outsourcing: the good, the bad and the inevitable. She joins us now with some insights. Q CINDY: Let's talk about the terminology because it can be a bit confusing. There's out-sourcing, off-shoring, on-shoring, near-shoring, What's the difference? |

Q OUTSOURCING is not a NEW trend. Been around for centuries? Q Why then has OFFSHORE/OUTSOURCING become such a HOT issue in the past few years. Q I noticed that NH companies you contacted didn't want to talk about their OFFSHORING experience. did they tell you why? Politically volatile issue, not politically correct. ============================= OFFSHORING IS NOT FOR EVERY COMPANY. SOME SMALLER OPERATIONS IN NH HAVE "LOOKED" AT SHIPPING OUT JOBS TO SAVE ON THEIR LABOR COSTS --BUT, IN THE END DISCOVERED IT WAS NOT THEIR BEST OPTION. =============================== Q Citronics sounds very similiar to the company you profiled in your article ELECTROPAC in Manchester. * another circuit board manufacturer * Why did they refuse to offshore manufacturing work. Q Those in the OUTSOURCING business say "Real-time" communications is KEY to quality work, RUSSIA is becoming a PLAYER in the outsourcing arena. Q CINDY: Proponents of I-T OUTSOURCING say the practice actually CREATES new jobs --But, not the HIGH-TECH, high paying jobs. - - - - I-T degree programs are down. Q You quote James McKim, a technology Business owner as saying: " For every single lost I-T job.three other jobs in NH are affected." ***Fascinating how the loss of I-T jobs in this country --has impacted the TEEN labor market, Q You spelled out the REPERCUSSIONS beyond unemployment. Workers who reprensent bulk of tax base no longer giving money to the arts and charities. Q In your article you talked about some of the issues involved with companies doing OUTSOURCING such as "Intellectual property" , labor laws Q It's not just labor costs fueling OUTSOURCING, in many instances companies are looking to get a foothold into new markets. EXPORTING is not as profitable.as having a satellite operation in a source country. Q You mention the case of DELL computers -- what was it that made the company PULL its India-based call centers back to the states. It's here to stay.a necessary evil. PART ONE is featured in this week's edition of NH BUSINESS REVIEW. You can look for Part 2, next friday, July 23rd, and Part 3.August 8th. |

That may seen like a lot of money. It is, but there is also a shift in how that money is being spent. Producer Dawn DeAngelis talked to the Center's Director, Professor Jeff Sohl about the market shift and the profile of an angel investor. |

| Hello/Intro Gay Return to index of stories... |
Unable to ban gay marriage, congressional Republicans are working to contain it, advancing legislation in the House to make sure federal courts don't order states to recognize same-sex unions sanctioned outside their borders. GOP officials said the measure likely would be on the House floor next week, and they expressed confidence it would pass. If so, it would mark a clear victory for gay marriage opponents, who suffered a decisive setback Wednesday in the Senate when the constitutional amendment fell a dozen votes shy of the 60 needed to advance. In addition, several officials said a constitutional amendment may be brought to the floor in the fall, closer to the election. MARRIAGE AMENDMENT Gay marriage issue won't disappear -- A Senate vote has spelled the end of an effort to enact a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage -- at least this year. But supporters say they expect the issue to return to the Senate floor in the future - and play a role in political campaigns as well. Kansas Republican Sam Brownback says he thinks gay marriage will be a "significant issue" in the fall elections. A conservative strategist says four million religious conservative voters sat out the last election -- and that the president's visible stance on the issue is essential to attracting those votes. The Family Research Council says nine states are poised to have state constitutional amendments on their ballots this fall on marriage. The Human Rights Campaign, a gay rights organization, is not concerned, saying the best hand was played Wednesday in the Senate. -- New Hampshire Senators Judd Gregg and John Sununu were opposite sides in a vote that defeated a proposed constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. Sununu joined most of the Democrats in the Senate to vote yesterday to defeat the measure. Judd Gregg voted on the losing side with most of the Republicans to keep the proposal alive.
