If shipping jobs to other countries raises people out of poverty then why are the majority of people who work in China's factories so absolutely destitute?
Why is India NOT a powerhouse economy?
How come Mexico is NOT a major industrial center?
Where is all this grand benefit from corporate jobs moved out of the US into poverty stricken regions?
There is no grand benefit to the country receiving the jobs. Corporations don't go to India or China in order to pay good wages. They go there in order to pay LOW, LOW wages.
It's a con, a scam, an illusion.
"Here I'll give you these jobs we have in the US and you will be rich."
"But wait, you mean you will only pay me the absolute minimum my weak central government will allow you to pay me?"
"Yes, otherwise why would I move the job? If I have to pay the same or just a little less, there is no value or profit for me to move the job. But if I can get away with paying you pennies and your government allows it, then I'll do it."
Corporations are NOT improving any country's economy. They are paying absolutely minimum pay to workers. There may be more workers who live on the edge of starvation but that does NOT improve a country's economy. If it did, Mexico would be a paradise by now.
