That was perhaps a bit too short, but its too late to edit. The main reason why I think it isn't a major problem is that we don't have a pool of jobs that we lose and don't get back. The national and world economies are more dynamic than that. In many cases offshoring can actually create American jobs relatively directly by boosting the competitiveness of American companies, and there can be positive (as well as negative) indirect effects as well. danieldrezner.com reason.com devx.com businessweek.com None of which means I don't think India and China are not going to have "a bigger piece of the pie" in the future, but the pie is getting bigger and our slice is not getting smaller, or even significantly shrinking as a percentage of the new larger pie.
