The west has become so obsessed with losing vast numbers of jobs to globalisation that its anxiety is now the butt of jokes. The Onion, a satirical website, recently reported that parents are outsourcing child care to India and Sri Lanka, using cardboard boxes to ship their offspring across the oceans. A country's overall level of employment is determined by macroeconomic forces; trade and offshoring affect the mix of employment and wages. Within particular industries, outsourcing and offshoring have been among globalisation's most disruptive consequences. The threat of losing jobs to developing countries has helped to depress middle-class pay in the rich world. But despite all the scares about job losses in the West, the trend is already slowing and may soon start to tail off. The main fear in recent years has been the migration of white-collar work, which makes up the majority of jobs in rich countries. Yet offshoring has destroyed far fewer service jobs than originally feared, and in manufacturing, where blue-collar jobs in industries such as computers, cars and textiles have been on the wane for decades, reshoring could even bring a revival.
