Job creation by US companies inside the US and outside the US

[phantom power]

The jobs are going to the foreign affiliates of U.S. companies in far greater numbers than the jobs that are created for U.S. affiliates of U.S. companies. The proof of the pudding is in a chart below, recommended to Forbes by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation in Kansas City, that is recognized as a fountain of research and ideas about entrepreneurship. The more the entrepreneurship, the more the jobs, the more the success of the U.S. economy.



Since 1982 the index of jobs going to the foreign affiliates of U.S. companies has risen some 80% from a low of 100 in 1982 to 180 currently. By comparison, the index of jobs at the U.S. affiliates of U.S. companies rose from 100 in 1982 to a peak of 130 in 2000--before the tech bubble and the housing bubble-- and in the last decade has fallen back to 110. This means the number of jobs created by US companies inside the nation has risen by only 10% over 30 years.
