Quote:"American companies cite a shortage of qualified personnel among the top reasons for utilizing global sourcing of services; it's no longer a question of simply seeking out cheaper labor. In addition, U.S. companies are looking for labor providers who can operate closer to -- or even on -- American soil. If this trend continues, it could actually be good news for Americans seeking jobs."
