Many of these major companies view this as an advantage, not noticing the negatives, and how it will affect the country in which it is located. Many of these prestigious companies that were once developed here in the United States have outsourced a majority of their blue collar, and a good percentage of their white ...

For over three decades, the U.S labor market has attracted criticism from the minority groups mostly the blacks.

For example most of the blue collar jobs that entail the operation of heavy machinery and other craftsman skills continue to be dominated by men. On ...
