Default Re: European comanies outsourcing to America?

Unemployment is already ridiculously high in Europe; why would they outsource here?

Because they can hire highly-skilled American workers for less Euros than their European counterpart. Thanks to the continously weakening dollar, this should only become more prevelant.

Same logic as outsourcing to India and other cheap labor countries, but in this case you would be looking more for a good deal on a highly skilled employee as opposed to just cheap labor (where the quality of work might be questionable or other cultural barriers might be too hard to overcome).
