Cod’s wallop! There isn’t 40 million skilled workers offshore. And, before 40 million could be trained to take existing jobs, the jobs themselves would have changed.

There most certainly are ... they are in the EU, Australia and Great Britain. God luck saving labor on those wage scales.

Also, let’s not forget that in India, and increasingly in China as well, workers are demanding better working conditions and pay. I predict that withing 15-20 years, it just won’t make any financial sense to move jobs to those countries. We are starting to see that now with some low skilled white collar jobs like call centers, many companies are reconsidering off-shoring as the quality of customer service plummets and the costs of operations there is soaring.
