The population of the Philippines is over 100 million. So you know, there's a really big workforce and then they're very well educated. Higher education is really valued in the Philippines. So most of the people you're going to find are going to have a college degree, an actual university degree, like after high school, four years of university education, which then leads into a very highly skilled workforce. Now, this wasn't always the case, but about 15 years ago, the government of the Philippines recognized. Oh. That the future of bringing money into the Philippines is working online and the outsourcing that's happening. And so they really leaned in to educating the workforce towards work that could be done online, towards bookkeeping, accounting, programming, design, content writing. They really leaned in to these types of roles. And so today we find really great customer support people, really great social media people, or SEO or video editing or audio editing or podcasting. We find really, really talented people at all of these things in addition to customer support or programming or WordPress or lead generation. Because of the talented workforce, you can find really high end people and really low end people, where on the other end of the spectrum you can find really talented sales copywriters or e commerce experts, or people who understand pay per click and media buying really, really well. And in addition, there are really highly educated and experienced specialty fields like virtual assistants for real estate or iOS developers, or cold calling sales reps or project managers. The depth and breadth of talent that you could find because of the education that exists in the Philippines is really great. So this allows you to find really talented people that you can outsource things to in your business.
