“Information technology workers and computer software engineers have
been especially heavily hit by offshore jobs outsourcing. During the past
five years (Jan 01 – Jan 06), the information sector of the US economy lost
645,000 jobs or 17.4% of its work force. Computer systems design and related lost
116,000 jobs or 8.7% of its work force. Clearly, jobs outsourcing is not
creating jobs in computer engineering and information technology. Indeed, jobs
outsourcing is not even creating jobs in related fields.”
