I searched the Lexis-Nexis database of English-language newspaper stories around the world that contained all three of the words "outsourcing," "jobs," and "India." In 1999, Lexis-Nexis produced only 39 stories; by 2003, there were 749 stories.
新闻报道是这种日益强烈的担忧的一个指标。我在Lexis-Nexis数据库里搜索了全世界英文报纸中关于"外包"、"工作"和"印度"三个关键词的新闻报道。在1999年，Lexis-Nexis只收录了39篇报道；到2003年则有749篇报道。而在2004年的前6个月就已经有1208篇相关报道。当我用"外包"、"工作"和"中国"三个关键词搜索时，结果也是大同小异。
