Tens of thousands of good-paying call center jobs have been outsourced

last decade.

Why do you think these are "well paying jobs"?

Sony tried to recruit me as a second level CSR/team leader after I
retired and they were paying $15 an hour. The basic tier 1 CSR was
making $8-10. Shortly after that they outsourced the whole operation
for lower wages.

Some call center jobs pay decently, depending upon the worker's
circumstances. If you are in West Virginia and your job choice is a
minimum wage job at Wal-Mart and making about twice that, then the call
center job is "good-paying."

There are call center jobs in this area where the starting pay is about
$25 an hour plus a fringe package, but you have to be a student in
pursuit of a master's degree or better. A job that pays that would be
considered "well-paying" by many college students and even those out of
college.

The world just isn't as black or white as you righties paint it.
