this is such a misuse of statistics it's hard to know where to start.
perhaps these companies perform better - or are larger - in the first
place. What percentage of jobs are going offshore? and what's happening to
their US employment? What's cause and what's effect and what is
correlation based on other factors? the numbers cited are meaningless - at
least in the way they are cited.
I appreciate your sending these things our way but this one is not honest
opinion - it's dressed-up facts - and deserves some rebuttal (which this is
not.... this merely says that meaning is more complicated than a collection
of numbers).
