My job was moved to the EU.  It's easy to lay off Americans.  It's 
difficult to lay off Europeans.  So, a company does what ever it needs 
to do to improve stock market performance (that's all that matters). 
The money saved by reducing US operations allowed the company to buy 
back a bunch of stock which made investors very happy.  This, of course, 
lowered US stock prices which made it possible for investors to purchase 
more stock to position themselves for a big buyback in the next cycle. 
This capital makes it possible for the company to buy out some 
competitors which allows them to control the market and raise prices 
which is seen as good performance and strong growth positioning the 
company for a buy out.  Top management will make a killing and be in a 
position to buy/found more companies with manufacturing operations in 
low labor cost countries.

I'll just get a new job with a US owned company with foreign 
subsidiaries that will move US operations off shore for the tax and 
operating cost benefits.  It's all the rage these days.  And very good 
for Wall Street and the GDP.
