Zusammenfassung:The recent media and political attention on service outsourcing from developed to developing countries gives the impression that outsourcing is exploding. As a result, workers in industrial countries are anxious about job losses. This paper aims to establish what are the hypes and what are the facts.

Using the United Kingdom as a case study, we find that job growth at a sectoral level is not negatively related to service outsourcing
