The reality is that most of the companies that outsource a lot of their IT are the kind of cheap poorly run companies you don’t want to work for anyway.

Otherwise known as the Fortune 500.

There are two kinds of companies in the U.S. - those who are outsourcing and those who will be.

Fortune 500 are a different story, for one thing they tend to be international in scope in the first place so when they “move” work over seas they’re really just re-arranging internal tasks.

Outside the Fortune 500 though it’s a different thing. And the reality is that the number of companies that outsource is probably only a tenth of what the fear sellers say. Most companies don’t outsource, and with good reason, most companies would not only gain nothing by outsourcing they’d lose a lot. Most companies can’t afford to have a major project failure which your first outsourcing is almost 100% guaranteed to do.
