NEW REPORT: WHY BUSH SUPPORTS OUTSOURCING

On the eve of his trip to Ohio to "focus on jobs," (1) President Bush
claimed yesterday that "we're creating jobs - good, high-paying jobs for the
American citizen." (2) His comments come despite the country having lost
more than 2 million manufacturing jobs since he was elected. In Ohio, which
lost 270,000 manufacturing jobs alone, the economic crisis has raised
questions about why the president last month strongly endorsed the
outsourcing of U.S. jobs to cheap overseas labor markets. A look at the
president's donors offers an answer. (3)

Misleader compared the companies that outsource the most U.S. jobs (referred
to as "captive remote services companies" on page 11 of the trade
association report noted below) with the president's campaign finance
records. (4) The analysis shows that the president's campaign has pocketed
more than $440,000 and his party more than $3.6 million in just 4 years.
These companies have a direct stake in the president publicly supporting
outsourcing and doing everything he can to water down or oppose legislation
to curb the practice. (5)

TOP OUTSOURCER: American Express

Carlyle Upbeat On India Plans, Sets Aside $85 Million

NEW DELHI: India’s stupendous telecom growth is prompting Carlyle India, an arm of private equity major Carlyle Group, to re-focus on India not only as a major outsourcing driver but also as a major consumer of a range of services, including telecom. The Indian arm intends to invest $60-85 million in the next 2-3 years in emerging areas like telecom without losing focus on sectors like IT services, banking solutions and design and engineering.

Says Carlyle India Advisors Ltd director Kanwaljit Singh, who was in the capital for the KSA-Technopak retail summit: “We intend to invest around $60-85 million in the next 2-3 years. What has excited us recently is that India holds immense potential for supporting not only outsourcing-centric funds but also for portfolio funds which will address India’s consumption of services.”
