U.S. Job Outsourcing Seen Accelerating
New figures on offshore outsourcing suggest that American companies are sending even more white-collar jobs to low-wage countries than researchers originally estimated.
About 830,000 U.S. service-sector jobs -- from telemarketers and accountants to software engineers and chief technology officers -- will move abroad by the end of 2005, according to a report released by Forrester Research Inc.
The Cambridge, Mass., firm projected in 2002 that 588,000 jobs would move overseas by the end of next year.
