I didn't cite "the market" at all because I actually suggested regulation which is contrary to "the market" argument often thrown around.
But socially, no, I would blame the outsourcing companies way before I would blame major companies for hiring those outsourcing companies.
This is all very convenient because janitors and security guards have to be physically present. Jumping across sovereign borders is when a "market" argument works better because the US cannot tell China to treat Foxconn employees better with any real teeth.
