Sallie Mae to reverse offshore jobs?

Well what seems like the worst in the economy to hit yet or has already hit (this portion of the recession in the article could not be cited due to too much information on both aspects of the economy) was is the rest of the world to do with all the jobs America has been giving them? Answer: return them back to America! In a recent rumor swirling the net, Sallie Mae is offering to return 2,000 jobs back to U.S. soil. Those of the jobs to return are those in the field of IT, call centers, and operations support.

What will this mean for us for the future? More jobs to bring in more revenue to the U.S. which we all know that it couldn’t really be a horrible thing now could it?

Lets back track this idea. When the economy started swirling the drain back in the day (no one really knows the exact date. This could have been as long as 3 years to as little as 1 year ago. I just shrug at the details and insert a word that is more readily identifiable) we were wondering how this could be. Why so many jobs are being lost and what that could mean for the future of a company as well as the future of the country. Well when the economy had a booming open-for-business sign up at the import/export section in Target, everyone was paying attention. Countries such as India, the Philippines, and Mexico, countries that are rumored to have low wage expectancies and a horrible reputation for customer services (just call some of the relocated companies 1-800 numbers and tell me what you think) were getting all of our good jobs. I’m sure you remember those inspirational messages on your t.v. screens with a man and a woman who just bought a house, had a baby, and now learned that the man’s job was soon to be shifted overseas, leaving the man unemployed as well as his housewife with the new baby and the unpaid mortgage.

Who in the hell did not see this coming?
