Movie description
A nonpartisan investigation into the problem of American job outsourcing, Greg Spotts' self-funded documentary is an insightful glimpse into the issue via the personal lives of those affected by the trend. As more and more American corporations are replacing American job holders with foreign workers, who are willing to work for less pay, US families are left without resources or an economic foothold. Meanwhile, foreign workers are exploited, and corporate CEOs are the only ones who come out ahead. Spotts observes firsthand the structural and damaging effects of the global sourcing epidemic, visiting 19 cities and towns, and logging over 80 hours of interview hours. The only conclusion to emerge from this open-ended exploration is the certainty of the dire consequences introduced when business interests are put before those of the human being.

American Jobs DVD

62 Minute Run time

American Jobs is a personal investigation of the "jobless recovery." In the first six months of 2004, Director Greg Spotts visited nineteen cities and towns across the US, interviewing workers who had recently lost their jobs due to low-wage foreign competition. His heartfelt documentary reveals families and communities left behind by the brave new world of Outsourcing and Offshore Manufacturing. The film explores both blue-collar and white-collar occupations, interviewing workers in the garment, software, aerospace and textile industries. In their own words, the workers and their families describe their personal struggle to retrain for an uncertain future, and share their concerns about the health of the American Dream.

In addition to sharing the stories of American workers, American Jobs demonstrates how the NAFTA-inspired movement of manufacturing plants to low-wage countries has established a template that is now used to shift high-skilled white-collar work to India and other countries. The final segment of the film explores the recently signed Central American Free Trade Agreement, which faces a high-profile battle in Congress during the first months of 2005.

American Jobs is a nonpartisan film and was entirely self-funded by Spotts, who has been touring the country showing his documentary at Universities and Union halls. In addition to the displaced workers, the documentary features interviews with students, economists, academics and politicians, including US Members of Congress Sherrod Brown, (D-OH) Donald Manzullo, (R-IL) Rosa DeLauro, (D-CT) Robin Hayes, (R-NC) and Hilda Solis, (D-CA).
