>I've seen stated income in India for programmers very recently in the 15-20K range.> True and that is better than most professions. In purchasing power parity it is the same as $75,000 to $100,000/year. >India would never allow this to happen if the reverse were true.> It is just the differential in currencies. Nothing in the hands of either govts. or industry. When a middle class Indian buys a US good like a PC, the price is like a month's salary. Then the currency conversion works against him. When he gets an offshore job, it works in his favor. Similarly, most americans enjoy the hard work and resources from most third world, as their currency is stronger. -Arun
