News release: “Almost half of IT companies plan to relocate jobs abroad, making the technology industry the UK’s likeliest private sector employer to build-out operations offshore. In a survey of more than 700 employers, India emerged as the preferred overseas destination for the 10 per cent of respondents looking to export jobs from the UK. Out of those UK employers with offshore intentions, less than a fifth were manufacturers, while almost half (44 per cent) were in the Computing and IT sector. The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, co-authors of the survey, said such jobs outsourcing represented “a medium-term concern” for the UK economy.”
