"I do believe this is one of the more misunderstand elements of what's going on in our industry," Elix said. "We have been leveraging skills globally for as long as we've been in business."

What are we misunderstanding here? You're laying off American workers and hiring in India as they're cheap.

THIS is why there is a jobless recovery. The tax cuts have spurred business. Businesses are busy "offshoring". The global marketplace ensures buyers for the products of these businesses.
It seems to me we are moving our means of production, and transferring wealth, all in the name of higher dividends, and bonuses for CEOs.
I've repeatedly said China, emboldened by our transfer of tech and manufacturing capability, will simply take Taiwan. It seems that's happening quicker than I thought.
