Read the excerpt and then answer the following question.

When you look at most of your electronics, clothing and other housewares, there's a good chance that somewhere on it you'll find "Made In China" or "Made in Vietnam". It's less likely, however, to find something that's marked "Made in the USA". Why? Simply put, outsourcing jobs overseas is cheaper.

For large corporations looking to grow their industry and sell goods cheaper and faster, outsourced labor is the answer. Labor overseas can be anywhere from five to twenty percent of what it costs in the States—which is a huge cost savings. But what does that mean for American jobs?

Recent statistics show that over two million jobs were outsourced in 2013, with the bulk of them going to China and India. With American employment at a low, it's easy to argue that those two million jobs would have been better kept for American workers.

Industries such as Manufacturing, IT Services, Distribution, Research & Development, and Call Centers are commonly outsourced to different countries. Slowly but surely, many factories around the U.S. have, and will continue to close due to outsourcing. One instance includes Whirlpool, which in 2010 shut down its Evansville, Indiana factory, which opened in 1956, to move it's refrigerator assembly operation to Mexico. This resulted in the loss of 1,200 local jobs.

For the workers at Whirlpool, and many like them around the U.S., losing their jobs due to outsourcing was disruptive. Not only had these workers been with the companies for several years, but in most cases, it was all they had ever done. Closures due to outsourcing leave these workers, many of which had plans to retire with the company, to look for new jobs. This becomes increasingly difficult, as the jobs they are qualified to do are disappearing, all going overseas.

While outsourcing may be a great, cost-effective option for corporations, it does severely impact those Americans whose jobs were cut as a result.
