Most Americans today are aware that jobs are being outsourced to
China, India, and other nations at an alarming rate. From factory
jobs to white-collar, high-tech positions, the exporting of labor
is one of the most controversial issues in America.
Yet few people know much about the other end -- about the people
who are actually working these jobs and how their own lives have
been throw into tumult by these new economic forces. Andrew Ross
spent a year in China, interviewing local employees and their
managers in Taiwan, Shanghai, and the far western provinces. In
this engaging and informative book, he shows how the Chinese
workforce has inherited many of the same worries as American
workers, such as job instability, long hours, and awareness of
their own expendability. He reports on the daily reality of
corporate free trade and explores the growing competition between
China and India. This is an eye-opening exploration of an unseen
side of our globalized world.
