The issue raised in this article was outsourcing and/or off-shoring Washington State jobs in the name of lowering labor costs. Author was complaining about Washington state companies, such as Boeing and Microsoft, for hiring out of state or foreign workers with lower pay.
Unfortunately, enterprises are in the market to make more and more profit, in other words companies are providing services to make money. They do pursue the same idea whether they are a mom and pop store or a business giant such as Microsoft.
I do agree with Mr. Talton`s recommendations to end outsourcing of the Washington jobs. His ideas are right on the subject and I am sure the politicians in WA State are also aware of the same issues. What is left for big businesses to do is to work closer with public schools and community-based organizations for improving the education system in Washington. My idea of improving the education system includes giving teens an internship opportunity programs to explore on their choices of professions. A good education system should guide them to their dream job. They should be in the job field because of their passion not because of how much that position pays in a year. Lack of domestic education system is one of the reasons for businesses to hire foreign workers.
