Question 2 • US History

Which statement best explains why jobs may be outsourced?

Answer
A
Production time is often quicker when jobs are created internationally.
B
It reduces barriers to trade and goods move more freely between countries.
C
Relocating manufacturing plants results in higher-quality goods.
D
Labor is often found in other countries at cheaper costs.

Explanation

Companies may outsource jobs to reduce production costs. Workers in other countries may be available for lower wages, so labor costs less; this is why “Labor is often found in other countries at cheaper costs” is the best explanation. Outsourcing does not necessarily make production quicker or improve product quality.
