The minerals and production materials are used from China which inturn is benefitting China in overall trade with United States. Although China is supported with the employment opportunity created by Apple’s decision to produce Iphone in China, the state of the workers in those chinese production contractors is not sound. The workers claim that they are not being paid appropriately.

How is outsourcing affecting American Citizens, its not only taking jobs away from us Americans but is also hurting our US economy. Outsourcing is when a company such as Apple sends jobs overseas to a country such as China and has factory workers there assemble the product for a much lower price. Yes this lowers the price of products but we have to take into account how many jobs this it taking from American citizens. Outsourcing jobs does lower the price of products but jobs should stay here in the US to build our economy and give American’s their jobs back. The issue on outsourcing jobs is not only jobs being taken away from Americans but its hurting our economy.

“Made in China” is a label we can find nearly every product in the US consumer market, moreover the world market. The products that are made-in-China replaced the made-in USA gradually and nowadays it is hard to find the products which are not made in China, all over the world. The US was the biggest supporter of the growth in Chinese Economy and the National power, unintentionally. China was able to take over world’s processing industry because America gave up the industry. It allowed China to become the world number one merchandise manufacturer in these days.

California Congressman Joe Baca once said, “Products made in china are cheap through the exploitation of the work force. Every time we shop, we are driving the nail further into the coffin of manufacturing jobs (Joe Baca).” Congressman Baca hit that that nail on the head, but whose workforce really being exploited? In recent years there has been much discussion of offshoring; whether it be a call center for when your computer breaks, or the manufacturing facility for the air bag that could save your life – what is that little label worth to you. The facts remain clear, every time a company closes its facilities to move abroad many Americans lose their jobs. At first people weren’t too worried when the low paying factory jobs packed up and left, but now middle class tech jobs, and even high level engineering jobs are leaving our country.

The truth is that by using cheaper wages in developing nations, we are not only improving our standard of living, but are improving the goodwill of the planet as a whole. For example, if a laborer in China is able to put an American out of work, it would, at first, be viewed negatively. However, due to the advanced research and development facilities the United States possesses, that worker could, potentially, work as a pharmaceutical researcher – an option unavailable to someone in a developing nation. Many seem to forget that the impoverished today are, in many ways, better off than the rich of the nation were less than 100 years ago.

They traded with each other quite often, and American businessmen went over to start businesses in China, which helped out the economy a lot. When the Gold Rush started, there was a really bad disease that had gone all over southeast China. This made many Chinese leave in hopes of striking gold and becoming rich in America, although almost all of them did not. Since they did not find gold, they were forced to take on jobs, which were hard work and low pay since they were immigrants. Most of them worked on the railroads because "the Gold Rush had fueled the demand for rail lines to link the east and west coasts of North America."

Unfortunately, we can also see the same pattern in China's education system and lobar market.

These measures increases the loyalty of employees and also formed their identity, Japanese workers often refer to themselves as a “company man”. Individualism dominates China, and company exists purely for profit. People rarely identify themselves as a company man.

In this flatter, people of US complain about the job, manufacturing things that moved to china because china being successful day by day to emerged as a center of manufacturing offshoring. The reason for moving to china is to save the cost and if one company move to china then the only factor remain for the rival companies to move their companies to china for manufacturing goods. After joining the WTO, many international companies felt safer to operate

Expanding into China, the world’s most populous country, opened up a huge opportunity to spread into all of Asia because there was the labor aspect in which cheap labor could produce shoes and other clothing at a lower cost. Everything seemed well in the corporation as stockholders and managers were receiving huge dividends and the public was receiving great products.
