Why are American firms choosing to "offshore" their work?
Sub problems
The ethical considerations of offshoring
Americans lose job opportunities because American factories are relocating their operations in Asian countries.
Lack of incentives offered by the government for business owners
Data needed
American companies that are offshoring
Data on US unemployment
Data on comparison of wages for Americans and offshore workers
Data on benefits demanded by American workers and savings on benefits when offshoring
Data on union demands and rights of workers in the US versus offshore companies

Advantages and disadvantages of offshoring
Importance of the study
This study is important in order to understand the motivations of organizations in offshoring their operations, thus depriving many Americans of job opportunities. This will look into the incentives that should be given to new businesses, and the incentives that Asian countries are offering to multinational companies.
Hypothesis
American companies are offshoring their operations because of the huge profits they get from the low wages in other countries as well lower taxes and ease of doing business.
