i have to admit that until the recent slew of Outsourcing White collar
jobs to foreign countries i only vaguely paid attention to the complaints
of blue-collar jobs being outsourced.
i had a site up at one point called saveamericanjobs.org that asked the
question as to whether outsourcing jobs would eventually lead to
the destruction of the middle class in America.
in fact i left my job as a programmer because of my company
outsourcing white collar jobs to foreign countries. it was obvious to
me that it was only a matter of time before the wage i wanted for
my skillset would be too high for any reasonable employer engaged
in outsourcing white collar jobs to foreign countries.
