People are also retiring later, and living longer. Lawyers have prompted potential retires to hold on to jobs simply for the benefits.

The bulk of this article is the spin of Clinton era monkeys. I think it is an interesting data point, but I don't completely buy it.

What I DO however buy is that there isn't enough skill in India to absorb demand, necessarily. I also believe that the companies that are outsourcing today are going to have one, big, giant, massive hangover tomorrow.

First question from applicant - "So, have you ever outsourced work either from the department I'm going into, or something related to it?"

If the answer is yes, then either call in another candidate, or get your checkbook, because you will be paying the herkin' bonus.

I think everyone is underestimating the number of people who are going to end up dying with their boots on. They'll work until they're dead because they have to.

I also buy some of this --- you look at countries like Mexico which we are becoming more and more alike with and you see there are a shortage of high skilled workers, a very dire shortage of doctors and nurses and teachers to serve a very large indigent and uneducated population. The problem is the skilled jobs don't really pay all that well because of the type of economy they have and the large portion of poverty stricken.
