Did you know that outsourcing doesn’t begin and end with IT and manufacturing jobs?
Outside of call center and tech support services, outsourcing firms provide a wide range of services including engineering, health care, administrative, financial and accounting services just to name a few:
Medical Billing, Medical Coding, Medical Transcription, Medical Claims Processing, Radiology ,Teleradiology, Tax Preparation, Banking and Financial Services, Bookkeeping, Payroll Processing, QuickBooks, Accounting, Coding Services, J2EE Programming, Website Maintenance, Network Maintenance, Product Engineering, FEA Services, Architectural Services, CAD Services, 3D Rendering, Architectural Drafting Services, Structural Engineering Design, Web Analytics, Market Research, Data Entry and Document Management … (this list really could go on and on).
It’s a bit concerning, don’t you think? Mind you these aren’t low wage/low skill jobs. It’s scary to think about the job insecurity that exists nowadays. Anyways, how do you feel about outsourcing tapping into more and more markets?
magicbright if you don’t believe every field i’ve listed can be or is being outsourced just take a look at some of the available services at these firms.

i didnt mean to imply these jobs are being outsourced in their entirety. i hope you don’t think that’s what i was trying to say
Thank you we are all just too stupid to realize those things. Jeez.
Yes job insecurity really scares me but, knowing ppl in other countries have access to all your records really SCARES me!
I wonder what is going wrong with the system that this is happening.
Is it just the way of education or some thing else.
I worked for a company like that before. The idea of outsourcing in general is to take some of the industry related burden off the client and place it on my(the outsourse company) shoulders. Now, whether to outsource overseas or in the US is a decision that an outsourcing company makes. Not all industries that you listed are being completely outsourced overseas (I think market research or radiology services would be almost impossible to ship to another country). Nevertheless, many of the industries find it more attractive to do the offshore outsourcing because of the lower wages and property rent they would have to spend their money on. The downsides are the elevated risk related to opening business in another country (thus higher insurance premiums to pay), having to deal with local authorities and regulations, and many more .Did this answer your question?
I didn’t know that before now…thats f*cked up
