Good article.
But I can't buy the following statement by Gordon Coburn, senior vice president and chief financial officer at Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp.
"For a U.S. company to take the approach that 'No, I have to do it all here because I have to protect the jobs,' in the end, it's going to cost more jobs here because they're not going to survive, because they won't be price-competitive," said Coburn. "On a long-term basis, I think that by our clients leveraging the offshore model, they are actually protecting American jobs."
Here is my point.
U.S. companies (as well as a lot of Global companies) benefit most from the consumer spending in the USA, not from selling services/products to other countries. consumer spending is 2/3 of USA economy. If jobs keep vanishing from USA, consumer spending will also vanish slowly.

frantic,
I don't see jobs being created "because of this". Can you please help me with some examples.
Here, we are not talking IT only, we are talking jobs from other sectors as well. Highend as well as lowend jobs are vanishing. A lot of people with good educational background are without jobs. If most of the backoffice jobs are up for export, what will remain in USA are the sales office without people having money to buy. All it will do is make rich people richer and poor ppl poorer.
