Globalization and the American Workforce

Web site for the Committee on Science and Technology, U.S. House of Representatives :: Investigation :: Globalization and the American Workforce:

"Democratic Members of the Science Committee have a long-standing interest in using Federal programs and agencies within our jurisdiction to undertake initiatives that prepare Americans for high-technology, high-paying jobs. In the 1980s, this 'offshoring' seemed limited to manufacturing jobs in blue-collar industries such as textiles, steel or metal fabrication. The U.S. responded by helping create the precursors of the Advanced Technology Program and the Manufacturing Extension Partnership Program at the Department of Commerce."
