Factory Worker

I believe that shifting jobs overseas is not a good idea. Many of the workers that I work with, including myself would be devastated if they had to move away from their family because of a job. it is unfair to the citizens that are hardworking to have to pack up their things and leave. Although these changes are a large way to help start a revolution, there are others ways that do not effect people's lives. This could ultimately lead to my family getting kicked out of my house because I would be unable to help support my family from overseas. I do not believe that this is a good idea.

Hi my name is David Ricardo and I am a political economists. As an economists, I think the idea of shifting jobs overseas is a very good idea for our economy. One positive effect of shifting jobs overseas is that we will be able to get cheaper labor. Getting cheaper labor allows for more money to be used to build more cities and create a stronger and better economy. There will be a large amount of money saved from shifting jobs overseas therefor we should shift the jobs overseas. A second positive effect of shifting jobs overseas is that there will be an increase in the amount of natural resources factories can use. For example, if Britain were to shift jobs overseas to America, Britain would be able new resources such as oil, timber, copper, gold, iron, and many more resources. These new resources can allow for many more creations and help our industrialization in many ways. If Britain were to shift jobs overseas, there would be multiple positive effects for the economy because Britain could save money on labor and also build many more things with the large amount of natural resources in places like America. I believe shifting jobs overseas is the solution for fixing our economy.

I do not believe that we should ship our jobs overseas because my friends, family, and I really need our jobs in the mill in order to provide for our families and loved ones. By shipping our jobs overseas, I will no longer be able to provide for my family, and my friends and coworkers will not be able to provide for their loved ones. And without money there is no food and we will not be able to pay our rent and we will be out on the streets. If our jobs are shipped overseas, then my family and I will be homeless and hungry, and that is the last thing that I need.

Karl Mark (Leonardo Giarrusso

Hello, my name is Karl Marx. I believe that shifting jobs overseas for cheap labor is a good idea. I believe this because it will save money for our economy that we can use for other things instead of paying more to our employees. One of my jobs is actually dealing with the economics and this is another reason why I believe in shifting jobs overseas. Things that we can do with the money that we save with labor overseas is develop our city. We can build new factories. This will lead to more production so more products for the people which will help us because more people will have clothing. I think that there are more positive outcomes than there are negative outcomes with shifting jobs overseas to take advantage of cheap labor sources and natural resources because it is the best possible solution for our economy.

  I believe that shifting jobs overseas may be a way to improve our economy but more can be done. By industrializing countries we can all work as one to improve health, and economy. The ships madeof iron will soon rust after being sailded back and forth for trading purposes. Steel ships will later replace the iron ships and be powered by steam. Our economy needs a boost of everything from social aspects to cheap labor sources. To travel across the ocean ships must be built! Men build these ships instead of the women who work in the factories. Men will be payed more, this will put a weight on our economy that will bring it down.

I do believe that shifting jobs overseas to take advantage of cheap labor sources and natural resources is the best possible solution for our economy.
This would be extremely beneficial to our economy because, the products we need could be made faster and cheaper. In order for this idea to be effective the government cannot control making this change.

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.
