Forget India, Outsource in Republic County, Kansas
- "Dubbed "rural sourcing," "rural outsourcings" and "onshoring," the practice relies on two simple premises: Smaller towns need jobs, and they offer a cheaper cost of living than urban centers. So businesses that oursource work to these can expect to pay less -- rates are often as much as 25% to 50% lower -- than if they were hiring urbanites with comparable skills" - from "Forget India, outsource to Arkansas"
- Contact RCEDC for more information on outsourcing opportunities.
