"Job Tracker" Makes it Easy to Find Local Employers Sending Jobs Overseas

Want to know if companies in your town are sending American jobs overseas? The AFL-CIO and Working America have made it as easy as entering your Zip code and clicking “Search.”

The new Job Tracker website not only reveals which employers are exporting jobs from your community, but also searches for for mass layoffs and companies violating federal safety, health and labor laws.

In Toledo, Ohio, for instance, the Tracker finds 20 companies exporting jobs, another 19 firms that have laid off workers and 61 that have filed notice of intent to make mass layoffs. Further, 1,170 companies violated safety and health laws since 2000 and another 39 have been brought up before the National Labor Relations Board.

The Tracker’s sources include the U.S. Department of Labor’s Trade Adjustment Assistance records, Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act notices and OSHA records.

Click HERE for the Tracker or find it at www.workingamerica.org. The site also lets you use Facebook, Twitter and e-mail to share what you find.

Along with the Tracker, the AFL-CIO and Working America have released a new report, “Outsourced,” that looks at what the practice has cost the economy and America’s working families. Click HERE to read or download it.
