Are the Call Centers Pulling out in Asia?
The United States and perhaps the whole world is in recession. With that in mind, other countries like the ones in Europe and Asia are following. While we all know that various means are being resorted to avoid imminent economic catastrophe, you have to wonder how the outsourced jobs such as call centers situated in key areas of the world will deal with it. That is, if they are still around.
Rumor has it that the US is seriously studying pulling out these call centers, particularly in the Philippines and India. Rather than hold fort in these two leading countries where labor is cheaper, they are planning to hold base in their local grounds.
With that in mind, panic and worried call center agents are bracing themselves for the worst. For sure, the smaller ones will be the first to go and incrementally followed by the larger ones. The bigger and successful companies may still be around but make no mistake about it; they will be downsizing.
The unemployment rate is expected to escalate. Call centers have been a goldmine for most people. While many choose to be ignorant, getting over the recession is not the end of it. The next president has vowed that countrymen comes first and with that in mind, you know that local talent will get first priority and this includes jobs circulating around call center and nursing professions.
