Economic facts

To put that in perspective, there are fewer than 2,700 families in the United States who have a net worth over $100 million. OUTSOURCING: One of the known advantages of outsourcing is to reduce overhead costs and save 60 percent of the usual cost. According to the recent statistics, 12 percent of companies actually outsource their Call or Help Centers.
Outsourcing is employed by companies mostly to save costs which leads to higher revenues that translate to more job openings in the US, according to CATO institute. It is a way for companies to cut costs and at the same time recover from losses.
They, like any other company, tries to run its business at a minimum cost. US labor and overhead is higher than in India and other countries. That is why almost everything is manufactured in China today.
What is eBay's (or any other company's) incentive to hire US workers? Large companies can work globally.
As of December 31, 2013 eBay employed approximately 33,500 people (including temporary employees).
21,000 are in the USA and 12,500 outside the USA.
