Question

A.

B.
US workers have to move internationally to do their jobs.
C.
More people come to the US to lighten US workers' workload.
D.
Workers in foreign countries do US workers' jobs for less money.

Answer 1

This would probably be D since foreign people would work for less money.

Answer 2

Answer:

D. Workers in foreign countries do US workers' jobs for less money.

Explanation:

This is the main way in which workers in the United States are affected by outsourcing. A company that outsources work employs people from other areas of the world in order to have the work done remotely. This is attractive for companies as they can often pay people less money in developing areas. However, this affects the workers of the United States as they lose sources of employment.
