If you scroll down, there's a chart from the Wall Street Journal, but I have to link to Free Republic because WSJ is subscription only. freerepublic.com The biggest screams are about IT jobs going to India, and about H-1B jobs being taken by Indians. My guess is that because you're Indian and work in IT, you are exposed to more of the screaming. Using common sense, if a US corporation manufactures goods offshore, and they are cheaper, then they can sell more goods in the US and elsewhere. So they need more sales staff, more support staff, more managers. Fewer blue collar workers lowers overhead, too, so they can do more R&D, hire more engineers. Makes sense, anyway.
