Seeing careers in competition (globally) to be the lowest paid resource is
difficult to experience. The job loss going on is about competing for who
can be paid the least and still perform. Can a child do the job and be paid
even less?

Those "numbers" keep shifting everyday. I think your Greenspan has just
announced more job losses in America. But in theory, I hope what you say is
correct. Let's just wait and see.

Living in India, I've noticed how much the Indian economy has picked up
these last few years. I know Europe is doing very poorly but this seems more
a result of making the Union which can be temporary. Economies are fragile
and it is hard to know all the componants that make them work.

So I would not put all the blame on outsourcing, but I do think it may have
a
part to play for good or bad. And perhaps we will never know until it
happens
how it fits into the economic equations.
