the other issue is that to hire a US worker, US companies have to pay payroll taxes and other taxes, and to hire an indian worker offshore, US companies are exempt from all forms of indian taxes. These are the kind of things that the US government should be dealing with to at least level the playing field because of course there are always other places in the world where labor is cheaper than here. I blame the current administration for their lack of concern for new college graduates unable to find work here.

Thanks for that. Just yesterday a financial analyst estimated that American outsourcing cos have already found it necessary to raise IT management salaries(in India) at least 15% in one yr. He added that the gov of India bent national rules that forbid firing of employees in order to lure American IT cos to the country, and then speculated how long it would take before gov enforced the previous regulations.
