U.S Government Losing Its Talent Due to Outsourcing

Post 9/11 U.S has been losing out on its talent at a steady pace since the government has been handing out contracts to private agencies due to which it is facing lack of talent and expertise for its national security and defense programs. There has been an increasing demand for complex technology and now the situation is such that the country either does not have the expertise for high tech projects or lacks appropriate talent for overseeing the work.

Due to this the government is turning to contractors for undertaking sensitive work. If you check the figures then the figure of private federal contractors has reach 7.5 million and this figure is four times higher as in comparison to the federal workforce. This highlights the plight of the government and the increased dependence on outsourcing. The whole blame cannot be even put on outsourcing since to an extent the government employees had been undertaking faulty work and this was resulting in losses for them. We cannot solely put the blame on outsourcing only since the government too is a culprit to an extent.
