[excerpt]
With increasing interest in the impact on the U.S. economy of offshoring and outsourcing of work, the
MLS program, and the employer interview component in particular, was determined to be
an appropriate vehicle for collecting information on this economic phenomenon. After
an intensive period of development, questions were added to the MLS employer
interview in January 2004 that identify job loss associated with movement of work within
the company and to another company, domestically and out of the country. Beginning in
June 2004, the results of these questions have been published.
