I live in an area that is very hard hit by the loss of jobs in the IT sector. I really love the quote that an Indian java programmer will work for $5000 a year compared to $60000 for an American. I know that even when things were good that the job offers for java programmers here was $25000 and that now java programmers are working at jobs that pay $15000 in retail/food service or are unemployed. I bet most of them would rather make that same money programming rather than selling. Sure, it is still more than what they are saying an Indian will work for, but the flat out lies about what Americans expect is disturbing.
If we want to outsource jobs then let's make it mandatory that 20% of all jobs going out of the country should come from the board of directors and upper management. Let's see how dedicated they will be to this type of program when they will be voting that 20% of them will lose their jobs.
