IS OUTSOURCING REALLY BAD?

It seems that the number of Americans feeling threatened by outsourcing dramatically increases by the day. In a number of past articles, I have always maintained that outsourcing should lead to a better company/country since the "Outsourcer" will be able to free a lot of resources and put a lot more attention to its core business.

As for the outsourced jobs, the output should drastically improve since it is now being done by specialists. At the end of the day, outsourcing should lead to more focused and productive companies with a much lower cost structures. This site also maintains that outsourcing should not be seen as a job killer for it is not. It's been here for a long time but it's only now that it is being percieved as a threat.

Here are two articles that analyses reports that confirms this views:
- WorldView: Offshore outsourcing not hurting service job numbers
- Outsourcing not the job killer once feared: report
