		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-233&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@Chris Kilber&lt;/a&gt;, I feel very similar Chris.  I believe that we are in a world economy now and I look at people from anywhere.  If someone is going to do a job better and they cost less, why wouldn&#039;t I go for that person.  But there is one thing in there, doing the job better.  

If the person or group of people that are hired are cheaper but don&#039;t do a good job, chances are they will not get hired again.  By doing good work, people will talk and share your work.  Then it will not matter what you charge because people will pay.</description>

		<description>A few observations Steve.

I know there are those who think that outsourcing is bad.  They feel it takes away from employing Americans.  What takes away from employment is the never ending rules and compliance regulations brought on by the government, special interests, and those who think everything has to be equitable.   This is simply isolationist thinking.

They will also tout that it is exploitation.  The real truth is that the people we employ outside of the United States eagerly like the work because it represents a significant advance in their living standard.  I am helping feed a family, supplying clothes and shoes to children.  In most cases, you may be the only source of income they have.

Why in my right mind would I choose to pay someone stateside when I can provide someone and their family some dignity.  There of course are exceptions to the rule and somethings that are needed to be done locally, but consider how you are helping people who need it more.
[Sorry for the rant]

Secondly, Many times the price of an individual project or two may exceed the price that you can hire someone full time for.  That is also a consideration.  If you employ someone who is sharp and at a minimum, trainable, you could train them and have someone who it very loyal to helping you manage your outsource needs.
