MD, Does outsourced hiring get added to the employee productivity numbers? If an employer can add 5 people for the price of 1 in India, productivity should explode. I would agree with FED assessment of the employment situation since most of the large tech companies are hiring far more aggressively outside the US than inside, although according to what I recently read in Barrons, we are staring at the first industrial revolution in 25 years next year. yahoo.smartmoney.com b
