Verizon announced in the Wall Street Journal in June that they're increasing the number of IT jobs in India by "at least 75%", and are "moving aggressively in Viet Nam". I can't give you the date, but I'll bet you can search it up if you want to. In 2005, the barriers come down in Southeast Asia, India, and Russia, which means the multinationals can use our tax money to ship more positions and production overseas. It's just going to get worse, and W is accelerating the process, regardless of what the heads-in-the-sand bots want to think.

June 13, 2003
Report: Amdocs, Verizon Negotiating Outsourcing Deal
Amdocs (Quote, Company Info), a provider of billing, customer relationship management and directory services, is reportedly negotiating a lucrative contract with Verizon (Quote, Company Info).
The proposed five-year pact is worth around $700 million and could rise to $1 billion, according to U.S. telecom industry sources cited by Globes, an Israeli business publication (Amdocs is based in Chesterfield, Mo., but has a strong presence in Israel.)
Amdocs seems to be largely a US concern, albiet with a business unit in Israel, but the outsourcing looks to be mostly confined to Chesterfield.
There may be other things in the works as well, but this one is worth 700 mil.
