The global economy has depended on imports/exports from other countries for as long as it’s been possible and now with the use of technology and the Internet, it is widely known that many entrepreneur outsource their projects to India. Virtual Assistants, among many other industries, struggle with this competition. North America cannot possibly match rates from those in India.

But what does this really mean? While I understand the economy is tough - paying someone $3/hr vs. $40 is a lot more appealing (and yes I admit that many can do just as good of a job) - what is it doing to our nation?

Take a look for yourself. Feel free to determine your own interpretation.
