I understand what you are trying to say, but this is not correct. When your job is outsourced it means the work you use to do here in this country is now being done in another country, and there is nothing else for you to do - YOUR job is lost and you are unemployed
its not tasks or functions that are being outsourced, its JOBs.
I have worked for companys that had started entire new industries, and completely lost their market to foriegn competition and are now closed. I have worked for companies that took all the core of their design and manufacturing and outsourced it to foriegn suppliers. The people who use to do that work here in the US are not doing it anymore. The company is in essence buying a product designed and manufactured on the other side of the world, placing their name (lable) on it, and selling it as if it were their own. If I told you which companies are doing this I think you would be shocked.
