In Conclusion . . .
In gathering information from our fathers and our common knowledge we have come to the conclusion that outsourcing is definitely hurting our economy. Our fathers had 3 similar and differing opinions. They had varying feelings and tolerance towards this subject. However, they all agreed on the fact that outsourcing is profitable and is the way in which the market is going. They are skeptical of America losing so many jobs to strangers overseas, who can afford to work for 10 cents an hour, while they cannot. Even if many workers don't agree with it, they have no control over it and no say in it. Companies throughout America have no choice but to outsource, in order to compete in a highly competitive market.
Labor and Management on the other hand, produced dissimilar responses. Mr. Orange and Mr. Red agreed that more responsibility and longer schooling deserves more pay. Mr. Red clearly stated, "Managers definitely warrant more pay--as long as they're doing their job the right way." Mr. Orange agreed and stressed that they carry more responsibility on their shoulders-- which we also agree upon. Mr. Blue believes many managers abuse their privileges and just plain out don't do their job the right way. This is why he believes that managers pay may be higher than what they deserve.
The major impact of these issues, which we believe is the depletion of the middle class, aroused feelings in our fathers and ourselves. Outsourcing is cutting into both middle management and labor positions which will hurt our economy. In particular, the future will hold rich and poor, with no one in-between. The whole country needs to work together to try and keep as many jobs here in the United States, otherwise our great country we live in will flush down the toilet.

You guys did extremely well on organizing your ideas for this project. I like the pictures you incorporated in this research project and the way you guys utilized your ideas. I feel you are on the road of becoming great economists in our world. I think the ideas you are using about outsourcing is valuable and even more accurate. I fell that you guys could help all of us students that don't even know how to get started and eventually become teachers in economists and in our world.
Outsourcing will always be a threat to jobs in this world as long as there are people who are willing to work for less. Employees in America, however, must learn that it is much cheaper for companies to outsource their company, and should not be as demanding with their requests. Good research with the interviews.

Outsourcing is a way for companies to save money. Unfortunately, it may come with loss of jobs. The more outsourcing companies establish, the more questions regarding credibility within the company for jobs in the US. I did like the way you interviewed your fathers for the project.
Clever! You did not focus on a specific topic but rather generalized work management and labor. That was a difficult task and you excelled. It was interesting comparing and contrasting the different viewpoints each of your parents had on the same topics. Instead of doing the mundane you made your topic interactive and kept your audience participating. You discussed every topic, I believe, in labor, including outsourcing and management. Outsourcing is definitely a topic of discussion, seen by some as a necessity and by others a hindrance, and your parents viewpoints added to my personal beliefs. Nice job and good effort.
The idea of this project was excellent and it seems to be supported very well, but People that get their jobs outsourced should be able to do more for their job security and it seems that they must find ways to keep big companies that are outsourcing in the country by negotiating and get the government involved with outsourcing much more than they are.
