A Deloitte/YouGov survey of more than 2,000 employed adults shows
that the Britons believe that the proportion of the outsourced jobs
must be changed so that an important number of jobs would be
returned to the Britain’s citizens.



82% of the interviewed persons were against the idea that the
companies should be outsourcing jobs while only 4% had nothing
against the outsourcing of the jobs.



Among those 82% people who declared themselves against the
outsourcing, 32% were firmly sustaining the idea that the companies
really need to return jobs to UK. This number is relevant to the
fact that in January at the same kind of a survey, there were only
22% people who sustained the idea.



David Owen, consulting partner at Deloitte explains that the result
of this latest survey are reflecting in fact the concern that
Britons have over their job security. “Growing
awareness of the increased mobility of both resource and labour is
causing anxiety with 17% of respondents believing that offshoring
presents a threat to their own jobs,†he said.



However, on a deeper analysis of the situation, during this last
month, SSL/Computer Weekly Survey of Appointments Data and Trends
found out that there was no net loss of the UK jobs registered.
The only noticeable change was that the offer of the employment has
had a different basis. Fewer junior IT posts were advertised with
offshoring, while there was a visible increase in offers at the
more senior levels. The posts of senior permanent IT posts rose
thus, on the website with 12%, while the recruitment for the
juniors registered a slightly decrease. This was to be seen in the
contract market also, where the demand for senior staff has known
the same level and the one for junior staff fell actually by almost
10%.
