>>I simply asked Skeeter (and now you) to show me - with hard evidence - that it is, statistically speaking, a LARGE problem - i.e. that it offshoring is directly resulting in the loss of a large number of jobs by people here.<< you never said "large" problem until now. you backpedal faster than de la hoya after round 10! -lol- anyway, offshoring is up, us jobs are down. you don't contest these facts, do you? do the freakin' math, genius. actually, i shoulda been more concise. only a small portion of the lost jobs went to offshoring. frankly, we've lost so many jobs so quickly that it would be impossible to lose them all to offshoring this quickly. most are just POOF! GONE!
