In an address to the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the largest and oldest Hispanic organization in the country, Ambassador Richardson said with today's growing global economy, education and a better understanding of foreign affairs will be critical requirements for today's young people. "Our economic and political growth will mean nothing if our children are not being educated properly," said Ambassador Richardson. "Unless we become obsessed with education all the progress we've made as a community will be for naught." The U.S. Ambassador the United Nations said that part of the focus on education must also include particular attention to a strong and committed Hispanic role in international affairs. Ambassador Richardson believes Latinos are in a perfect position to participate in international affairs, both throughout Latin America and in other locations around the world.

Outsourcing: A Policy Agenda Volume 9, Number 2 April 2004 By Sarah Anderson and John Cavanagh Editor : John Gershman, Interhemispheric Resource Center ( IRC Foreign Policy In Focus www.fpif.org Key Points Although the number of U.S. service jobs lost to outsourcing is currently small relative to the total work force, the fear of a seemingly limitless loss of jobs to lower-wage countries has caused widespread anxiety. U.S. companies dominate global services outsourcing, and India is the top developing-country destination. National and state legislators have introduced a flurry of anti-outsourcing bills, but corporations are mounting a strong counter-attack. Forrester Research estimates that about 40 percent of Fortune 1,000 firms have already outsourced some work and that at least another 3 million service jobs will leave the United States by 2015, led by information technology work. A study by the University of California, Berkeley estimates that 14 million U.S. jobs (11 percent of the total work force) are vulnerable to being outsourced. Although the number of jobs lost so far is small relative to the total work force, these layoffs have a huge impact on the affected communities, and the potential for white-collar jobs to be offshored is deeply unsettling for many American workers. In addition to job cuts, service workers must now also contend with the enhanced power of highly mobile, increasingly unregulated global corporations to bargain down U.S. wages and working conditions by threatening to move jobs elsewhere.
