The greatest value belongs to products that everybody wants but not everybody can produce. It is quite easy to create scientists today, if you just measure it as the amount of people who have a diploma. The company startup, that I'm in right now, is in the process of adding more programmers. We will most likely add these from eastern europe, and we will redesign parts of our product, so that noncritical components go abroad and critical components stay here. What does this mean for employment? Well, we're almost in labor shortage in this country, so not adding more employees doesn't matter a lot. The employees locally will be very much in response of design, resource planning, information logistics etc., and they will be responsible of knowing how to write code. In other words, local employees get a raise and have more advanced tasks. What USA needs, is just enough new business to replace what went offshore. The level of success when offshoring jobs depends a lot on how you do it.
