I dream when we will have outsourced manufacturing jobs overseas, and have big companies like Apple, HP, here in Kenya, then earn foreign exchange on the distribution and sells all over the world. But it sounds like a pipe dream.

US is not suffering from outsourcing since the companies earn abnormal profits from that. Only the poor jobless hands-man is the one who suffers.

But here in Kenya, we have non. No manufacturing companies outsourcing to Asia, and no outsourced jobs coming back home.

Regards

+1 Ali. I noted in Obama's State of the Union Address a new initiative the US govt is setting up called "Manufacturing Innovation Hubs" aimed at spurring innovation in Manufacturing.

In addition, a number of US companies such as Apple and Ford are bringing back manufacturing to the USA.
