There is no job that an employee is not at risk of losing. The so called
value chain is just marketing hyperbole, just ask any placement/recruitment
specialist. Ask them which side of the cycle they are currently pushing,
glut of jobs or employee's. Its always one or tbe other. It is the
imbalance of trade which generates employment; Supply side vs. demand side
and recruitment agents square in the middle promoting whatever makes them
the most money.

Ethics and morals; jobs and people; nothing more than commodities to be
traded in the international marketplace. Its kind of like human
trafficking, except you don't actually have to move anything around
physically.
