Putting all of these figures in perspective, one wonders why more European countries are not outsourcing.Because European countries have powerful unions that will not stand for it. Because countries with double digit or near double digit unemployement and strong levels of government intervention will not allow jobs to be shipped to India.

Not to mention
a) the unspeakable corruption in India
b) the caste system in India which makes the Jim Crow laws in the States look like a picnic--very anti-PC; compare the reaction to South Africa's apartheid...
c) low quality of materials and work produced
d) other Southeast Asian countries competing as Indian wages rise
e) the fading of Jack Welch and Carly Fiorina into insignificance, and with them, the idea that short term quality profits, and producing junk while screwing your workers are all that matter...
