America’s recession has caused the world’s economic downfall. People in countries around the globe are finding it harder to maintain jobs along with supporting their families. Many businesses are trying to improve their work availability to create jobs for the working class.

A way for companies to minimize costs and create employment is to hire independent contractors. Essentially an independent contractor is an employee who is paid by the company. However, the work that the contractor completes is a separate service then what the company actually performs.

This employee can save companies money because his salary is tax deductible. If a company were to hire multiple independent contractors, their salaries would all be tax deductible, which would all lead to major savings. The clear downside, however, to using independent contractors is that they are not bound to working for one company; they may work for whomever they choose.

This type of employment is often translated into modern day business process outsourcing. A company can invite a group of independent contractors to perform services for them. Take, for example, a company that hires Pitney Bowes for office services; Pitney Bowes will outsource directly from the company’s office.

Another such example would be Dell computers deciding to have an offshore business process outsourcing group taking customer service phone calls and the like. This kind of outsourcing is even more cost efficient because wages overseas are often much less than the US.

Companies choose to hire offshore business process outsourcers for this very reason, as the brainpower is equally sufficient and capable in performing the necessary tasks, while at the same time much cheaper. The proof is in the pudding, as very few complaints are placed and American customers are satisfied with the outcome of the services.

The problem with offshore outsourcing is that these jobs are going to foreign countries instead of American workers. Whereas companies think that by doing so they are saving money, in the long run they are incorrect, because people and companies will not be able to afford their services. Unless both American and offshore outsourcers are hired together, the economy will come to a standstill.

Outsourcing is an important help for the economic crisis, but companies must first make sure that native workers are hired as well in order to promote the continuation of the flow of the economy.
