Dear Editor,

            Due to free trade agreements from countries abroad U.S companies are moving their manufacturing base here in the U.S to foreign countries because of cheap labor and low environmental regulations. This must come to a stop before it ruins our economy as a whole. U.S corporations are moving abroad and outsourcing manufactured goods which in turn it costing U.S workers their jobs. Every day more and more jobs are being lost and the gap between the rich and the poor is growing even further. Outsourcing is beneficial to the businessmen that are high in the line of business but it is negatively affecting the demand for workers. Since it is so cheap to make manufactured goods over seas CEOs or corporations are moving there industry abroad to make them more money but they don’t realize how much harm they are doing to workers in the United States. Now there are thousands of people out there with no job and families to support and for some working in factories is all they have ever done and all they know how to do, now what is one to do? People are left with nothing which is wrong. Even if some do get to keep their jobs the wages they are used to making are lowered because the demand for U.S manufactures is lower than ever. Not only is this bad for manufactures but also for the whole economy. Outsourcing takes the money out of our economy and puts it into foreign economies. Now people in the U.S are less likely to spend money because of lower wages or no job at all. With no money being spent it affects other business. For example companies like star bucks are going through difficult times now due to our slow economy. People are not spending money on small things like coffee because they simply can’t afford to like they used to. One reason for this is outsourcing takes more money out of our economy and consumers spend less. If this trend continues the U.S economy could slump. In order to get back on track Corporations need to stop outsourcing jobs and return the industry to the U.S. to save our economy!

            I believe this editorial will help my essay 3 with my main points and audience appeal. I list reasons why outsourcing is bad and why corporations should keep industry in the U.S.
