As a factory worker, I do not believe that shifting jobs overseas to take advantage of cheap labor sources and natural resources is the best possible solution for our economy. This may be a good idea for the people who do not have to actually do the job of processing the resources like I do in the factory. The people that benefit from the work I do will probably have no problem with the jobs shifting overseas. This may even be better for the whole country in general. But, if this were to happen, I would have to move overseas for my job, and this would not be the best thing for me. This would require me moving my whole family out of our house to a new house overseas, and I could possibly even lose my job in the process, leaving my family and myself homeless and starving. Although the natural resources are more prosperous overseas, I would not want to move far away just because I am a factory worker and my moving may help someone of a higher social class than me. There are no direct positive outcomes of this for me, and that is why shifting jobs overseas to take advantage of cheap labor sources and natural resources is not the best possible solution for our economy.
