# Claim: America is done exporting jobs and offshoring its future

Verdict: 15%
Model: Kimi K2.6
Checked on: 14/05/2026

## Verdict explanation

Based on my research, here is my analysis of the claim:

**Reasoning:**

- The claim that America is "done" exporting jobs and offshoring is contradicted by current data showing approximately 300,000 jobs are still outsourced from the US each year[^1][^2][^3].
- Offshore outsourcing remains a significant portion of the US business process outsourcing market, holding 44.6% market share in 2025[^4].
- About 66% of US businesses continue to outsource at least one department, and 40% of US multinational companies outsource software development to countries like India, China, and the Philippines[^5][^6][^2].
- While reshoring has gained momentum with 244,000 announced reshoring and FDI jobs in 2024, this positive trend does not mean offshoring has ended—projections for 2025 reshoring are around 174,000-220,000 jobs, which is actually less than the approximately 300,000 jobs outsourced annually[^3][^2][^7][^8].
- The US BPO services market generated $84.6 billion in revenue in 2024, indicating that outsourcing remains deeply embedded in American business operations[^6].
- Historical data shows the US has lost millions of jobs to offshoring (3.7 million jobs to China alone between 2001-2018), and while the rate may have changed, the practice continues[^1][^3].
- The global outsourcing market is projected to reach $7.11 trillion by 2030, with the US remaining the largest source of outsourcing deals[^6].
