In the 1980s, outsourcing became common in city and state governments, mainly in sunbelts. In California, more than 70 cities are participating in the California Contract City Association.

In the 1990s, the mayor of reform (including Republican and Democratic Party) used outsourcing services in major cities such as Chicago, Cleveland, Indianapolis, New York, Philadelphia and the Old Town.
Administrative work of the state and local governments is expected to increase, but administrative support services are increasingly outsourced. However, because outsourcing of these administrative positions is not necessarily done by private outsourcing, it is handled by domestic enterprises specializing in support services, so it does not mean that the total number of these jobs will decrease. At present, the occupancy rate of the administration is expected to remain steady.

Another expert pointed out that "The number of employees in the service industry relocating abroad by 2005 is expected to reach 5.88 million from 100,000 in 2000" (Challenger 2004, p. twenty two).
