I know in the tech industry that a lot of jobs go to China and India because
they produce 3x the amount of comp sci grads every than the US. I live in Canada and we get recruited for US tech jobs because our graduate trainging is more up to date and more experiance driven rather than then academic compared to that of our counter parts in the US, at least in the Pacific Northwest which is where the bulk of Tech comes out of anyways. A lot of people complain about outsourcing tech jobs over seas but they do not realize the needs of the companies cannot be met here. Steve Balmer CEO of Microsoft recently said that they have hired tech people out of India and China simply because the demand is not met here in North America. He also mentioned that the cost wasn't an issue since they still do their R&D over here in the silicon valley and a lot of times end up moving people over to America. I guess the point at least in the tech sector is that the work is here you just have to go get it. |

I think this forum is read by different people around the world and doesnt
belong to anybody or any country or people in particular. We are a bunch of people meeting here to discuss about our hobby. Anyways, when somebody call me to offer me any kind of things, i treat them with respect because they are working...and sorry...their work is to call "us" and "bother us" They get paid for just that. -- Paulo "Kelly" wrote in message news:Kdr9c.28382$QO2.9999@pd7tw1no...

Put an ad in the paper saying you are looking for somebody to clean **** for minimum wage, you will have dozens, if not hundreds of people applying. EVERY job is competitive. Mike |

Mike There is not any part of any of this conversation that resembles any truth at all. This whole outsourcing of jobs is a myth created as a desparate attack against a very popular US President. The economy is doing very well, unemployment is low, interest rates are low, and the only jobs being sourced out is engineering in some specialized sectors. There was more export of jobs when Clinton was President. You know what Mike, go back to school, learn another trade, get in another business if you have to. I worked in the computer industry for over 20 years, and I must have got laid off 8 times. I bounced around from one company to another during a lot tougher times than these. Now I have my own business and I could not be happier. As a small businessman, I am not rich and I do not drive fancy cars. I bust my but for every dollar I make and I have no one to blame for my success or failure other than myself. I thank God every day that we do not have liberals or socialists running this country and I am gratefull that we have a President that understands how to protect the small businessman like me. Now enough of this dribble, I am going ack to my fish, which I bought with my hard earned money. |
