Schneider National, a Green Bay-based transportation company, recently purchased a logistics company in China. According to economist Jim Jubak, it is a sign that companies are reconsidering the value of shipping jobs to developing nations. Despite the incentive of low labor costs, outsourcing has stretched the global supply chain to its limits with little capacity for surge production during times of high demand. Jubak foresees a temporary abatement to outsourcing while companies acquire assets to manage their logistical networks better.
