US citizens are Losing Jobs To?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


“The unemployment rate in the United States was last reported at 9.60 percent in August of 2010. From 1948 until 2010 the United States’ Unemployment Rate averaged 5.70 percent reaching an historical high of 10.80 percent in November of 1982 and a record low of 2.50 percent in May of 1953. The labor force is defined as the number of people employed plus the number unemployed but seeking work. The non-labor force includes those who are not looking for work, those who are institutionalized and those serving in the military. “ – Trending Economics

Below is a visual of 2008 unemployment statistics data to ‘Google Earth’

And now for a nice disturbing visualization to start the day!  This is a representation of United States unemployment data as of December 2008–yes I know it’s February.  Created by one Tommy Albo by crunching Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers and uploading the data to Google Earth, this unemployment visualization clearly shows the best place to be is smack dab in the middle of the country! 

Recent 2010 data, would be much more in RED! 

US seem reporting month after month of upward revision of unemployment staying above 10%, while democrats and republicans tussle to figure out how-come US workers are not being hired despite abundance of US unemployed? 

Well many reason and issues are discussed ranging from lack-of-skill-education to college-drop-outs. They all seem to be right but only on the surface. One needs to take complete top-bottom approach when addressing and resolving an issue. Yes, just like we recently figured out what really went wrong ‘deep-down’ with ‘San Bruno blast a reminder of pipeline dangers’. We seem to debate, that 1956 San Bruno and 2010 San Bruno are not the same due to massive building and dense population. Therefore in essence, before we start to solve jigsaw puzzle we need to have a bigger picture of what’s being solved than how it is to be solved. 

No one from the surface could have estimated the extent of BP oil spill disaster in 2010 at ‘Gulf of Mexico’. Therefore, it is imperative that we follow top-to-bottom approach in resolving the crisis/situation and ever growing unemployment. 

When it comes to corruption, nothing gets spared since apparently dishonesty pays. Well, let delve into how corruption affects everyone of us, yes-even US. 

We have various accounts of historical-facts stating, most of our problems are related to corruption or dishonesty of few resulting in loss for many. While many still believe that recent downturn in US economics is somehow eventually linked to corruption or financial ‘Kleptocrats’.  

The over-drive of US companies to increate their revenues and appease share-holders or big sharks, they need to minimize their expense, in other words increase ROI with lower TCO. Well there is nothing wrong with this methodology provided its done with fair play. 

Bird’s eye view from 5 Mile: 

However, that is where the insatiable greed takes over and the companies soon become Kleptocrat Inc from simple smart-working Inc. Now, we have complete account of how major banks, investments firms, titanic size financial institutions collapsed under their own weight of kleptocrats in gambling in high-end speculative derivatives. 

At this big level we have seen US feds stepping in and bailing out these companies/banks with ‘US taxpayers money’, bear-in-mind average US taxpayer did not participate in this speculative gambling. 

Apart from this we have witnessed how, IT GAINTS have been on rampage of looting and frauds. King of IT fraud still remains to be an Indian firm ‘SATYAM’ of whooping 1.5 Billion ‘Print news - IPS Inter Press Service’, talking of which, we open Pandora box of corruption.

 
Does anyone want to guess whether there is even more to this story?

 
A Culture of Corruption:  ‘INDIA’

One can be more skeptical when India ranks 84 out of 180 countries in Transparency International’s 2009 Corruptions Perceptions Index ranking. INDIA is simmering with corruption from government officials to common man and top to bottom. 

India offers complete range of corruption: Be it, Information Technology to Income Tax, Sports to Schools, Government to Public, Top to Bottom, forget about these when even Chief Justice are found corrupt! Find the latest report enclosed herein:

Amazing country to work-with,  right? 

There are reports from Reuters-India ‘only 1 in 3 indian is not corrupt’, amazing?

in.reuters.com/article/idINIndia-51504820100915

Rampant corruption siphoning off billions from India 

 
This situation isn’t the only public scandal ‘Satyam’ has endured or massive corruption in Commonwealth Games to be hosted in India’s capital, Delhi come October 2010.  Massive corruption in CWG; CBI, ED to probe – Sports – Other …

www.playtheg ame.org/ news/detailed/ massive-indian- cricket-corruption- scandal- still-unfolding- 4823.html

On April 27, 2010 The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) suspended Indian Premier League (IPL) chief Lalit Modi over corruption allegations.

 
I’ve seen fraud at hundreds of companies, ranging from small family-owned businesses to large public companies. Fraud is never pretty. But it’s even uglier when companies are doing things that create a culture of corruption, opening the door for fraud to occur over and over again. 
 
In INDIA, the propensity of employees to commit corruption/fraud is dictated from top to bottom and government to common man. Whether we like it or not, employees look to those above them for cues about appropriate workplace behavior, and that includes fraud. When everyone knows that the boss does personal business on company time, it makes it easier for them to justify doing the same thing. If managers are stealing equipment, their in-the-know subordinates are likely to do the same. Monkey see, monkey do. 
 

Rewarding Bad Behavior 
 
In this case, when the head of the company steals via expense reports, and the company pays him millions on his way out the door, the message it sends to the employees is that stealing is okay. How could it send any other message? 
 
Of course, lower level employees know that if they’re caught stealing, they might get unceremoniously shown the door without a penny in severance. They aren’t delusional enough to think that they merit millions of dollars as a parting gift. But they still realize that the company is going to allow a certain amount of fraud. So long as they stay under that limit, they are almost assured of keeping their jobs and fitting right in. 
 
Rewarding bad behavior has consequences. And those watching the SATYAM/CWG scandal unfold ought to heed this warning: The culture of corruption at INDIA is alive and well. This is neither the first, nor the last scandal for CWG’s management, I’m sure. I’ve seen enough fraud to know that when the company condones and rewards such behavior, the behavior grows in frequency and in magnitude.

 
50% of India’s Chief Justice corrupt, reports former law minister.

Now how does above Indian corruption matter to US unemployment?

Well, above backdrop and abstract was required to provide a bigger picture as to what kind of beast we are dealing with when it comes to US jobs for IT, financial, banking, medical or call-center jobs. 

We all are aware that US IT, financial, banking, medical or call-center jobs are all outsourced to INDIA under pretext of saving US$ and cheap labor.

However, one rarely realizes that the jobs in US are also stolen out of corruption. When companies hire an Indian-workforce, the management have tie up with consultant companies providing Indian workers at cheap cost by corruption. It’s reported, for every Indian-worker hired management is paid certain amount per hour work done, in nutshell another reason for outsourcing US JOBS to INDIA! 

Shouldn’t company’s CEO’s who are outsourcing jobs in this bad economy shouldn’t they be jailed!!!

www.bongonews.com/layout1.php?event=886

US Postal Service is “outsourcing” up to 50,000 jobs formerly done by American postal employees to India. 

While INDIA has grown to 2 TRILLION US$ economy, US is reeling-under 200 TRILLION US$ of DEBT and US unemployment of 10% is major cause of worry! 

SAY NO TO OUTSOURCING AND EMPLOY US WORKFORCE! 

Well, so long corruption reigns, US would find hard to employ US workforce for US JOBS! 

So in closing, I complete my title “US citizens are loosing jobs to?”

CORRUPTION and OUTSOURCING!
