Myra,
I am glad for this post, as this "outsourcing" will probably be affecting my family. My husband is a software engineer and his company ACSS, has said that they want to outsource most of engineering to India to cut costs. Of course this would be devastating to us. My husband's company will be doing layoffs in September and we are just praying that my husband's job will not be cut as there are almost no positions available and a lot of unemployed software engineers here (especially in the airline industry). Apparently Honeywell (where my husband used to work) and AMEX are doing the same thing too. I guess these people are only concerned with the bottom line and don't care that if they do this, a lot of jobs will be lost and unemployment will skyrocket and the economy goes down the toilet with it. If they do this my husband's degree in Computer Science will be worthless in the U.S. basically because there will be few jobs and too many applicants.
Just my 2 cents,
Amy :) AZ
