Widening Impact - the movement of U.S. IT jobs abroad will continue to increase. (Dale and X - this is what I am talking about. From 5% in 2004 - to 23% outsourced in 2007 - three years? This is too fast - and will be too disruptive to people here that make their livings in these industries. I believe US politicians will do something about it if it moves this fast....t) While they have indicated a positive economic environment might mitigate the trend of jobs moving overseas, analysts still believe the movement of U.S. IT jobs abroad will continue to increase. In a recent survey of IT services vendors, industry research firm IDCindicated that the offshore component of delivering U.S. IT services might rise to as much as 23 percent by 2007, up dramatically from 5 percent in 2003. "We will be seeing [outsourcing] spread across all IT services segments," IDC program manager Ned May told TechNewsWorld, adding that offshoring is likely to spread beyond current limited areas that include call-center and custom application development. "We're going to see a broadening of the impact in many different activities." linuxinsider.com
