The American entertainment giant Warner Brothers has in a recent statement said that they will outsource jobs to India. The economic recession has already taken a toll of thousands of jobs in the US. But all of those job losses were either in the banking and financial sectors or the automobile industry although the technology industry was hit to some extent too.
The Warner brothers will be laying off some of the jobs as well as outsourcing some of them. Some positions that are available right now will also be closed down. The number of job losses is not what is making it more notorious the news that some of those will be outsourced to India and Poland will be of concern to the already surrounded with problems, Obama administration.
It is now the turn of the so famous entertainment industry based at Hollywood to feel the pinch of economic recession. How sorry a state of affairs the mistakes of the financial planners of the state have lead their country and the world to. God knows how long it will take to come to the normal levels.
Hollywood recently made a movie based on plot that takes place in Mumbai. Has Mumbai and its movie industry come into Hollywood in more ways that just a movie plot?
