I've read hundreds of industry sponsored studies. That business week article was the first piece of honesty I have seen about the matter. Businessweek was simply looking at the revenue of the large outsourcers tata, wipro etc- these are india only. This is only a fraction of total offshoring, it ignores the companies that hire directly like cisco,amat etc and that tumbleweed link I posted. Even then there was 9x the revenue that the industry sponsored groups and the US government admit to.

If the US government puts some *honest* figures up about this trend and this spurs some realistic debate I am all for it. These studies should have uncovered what businessweek uncovered, there are smoking guns all over the place after all. But they don't. And they all come up with the same bogus assertion that more work is created here than offshore, totally offbase from my experience.
