Comment on: Topic 'Digging Into RecruitingBlogs.com v2.08: The Death of Sourcing': e was one of the worst this last year.. Microsoft was top US-based recipient of H-1B visas in 2008- 1,037 Yet our longterm unemployment was record highs? --- they continue to push the lie of the UnEducated Employees here in America.. i say What? are you kidding me? compared to the Baby Boomers, (remember mom went to school to get the MRS degree) and gen y who have significantly more individuals going to school..see Self-Serving Lies Destroyed the American Dream "http://www.creators.com/opinion/paul-craig-roberts/self-serving-lies-destroyed-the-american-dream.html" http://www.creators.com/opinion/paul-craig-roberts/self-serving-lie... that with the h1-b visa abuse (and the l visa, and all the other employment short term visas) , and the degrading wages that was a problem for the past 7 years.. then perpetuate that with the fact that we have created an imbalance in our employment society with 80+ percent of boomers not being able to retire.. thus hurting the job pool further more..Well, seriously, why NOT discuss this? isn't it by turning the blind eye, and perpetuating the Myth and delusions that there had been a Fabulous "war for talent" and that the system was just Fine and Dandy, and there were plenty of jobs to go around, even when even in the past 4 years, our misery index was Through the roof..It is through the B.S lies of the Self serving individuals who had something to promote, or sell that we continued to hear and believe the resounding Crap that was thrown at us.. The louder they claimed how amazing they were, and as long as they surrounded themselves with others who help promote their wares, we continued to be inundated with the B.S.. and we accepted it as it was.. But at what cost? What did keeping our heads down, our ears closed, and remaining oblivious cost us? Ah, but some good news.. due to India and China Fatigue, more and more companies are coming back home, and bringing some jobs as well.. Some states are seeing unemployment as low as 3Percent.. and they still have low wages as well. North Dakota for example.. Also we are seeing a lot of insourcing happening to our country, where foreign companies are bringing their companies internally for our wonderfully trained talent.. hmm, wonder why the American companies haven't caught on to that yet.. as they continue to attempt to displace our american workers..The jobs Are coming back home, problem is, will the American Worker be obtaining them? Will We the recruiter in the U.S be the ones placing them?" I agree with some of what you said. New jobs are being created and the "old" jobs are being re-created, overseas and not here. The Software Developer positions ceased being created here in vast numbers and instead many were created overseas in Bangalore and Hyderabad India for between 20-25% cost of an American. In China it's 10% of an American, but fewer people in China speak English than India. The aftermath of the 2001 Recession ending November, 2001 was a massive acceleration of corporate offshore outsourcing by mid 2002 started by the bleeding edge technology market mover companies and filtering down to everyone else. It began as a way for companies to economically survive tough times. It worked so well it became a new business paradigm staple causing newly created jobs to be overseas--not in the US. This is what I saw first hand in I/T. You are dead on correct with your synopsis on what we were sold. Big Business claimed we had a shortage of technically qualified people using that as a ruse to increase H-1B caps as well as violate the spirit of the L-1 Intercompany Transfer Laws all of which was to gain access to cheap labor. I could explain how this is done but I'd rather not. They lied to the government. The government (Bush Administration and GOP Congressional majority) either were duped into the lie or wanted to reward their business constituents with cheaper labor for increased profits for their continued campaign support. Bottom line, we had a 750,000 techie shortage in 2000.......and a 2 million techie surplus by 2003. No one can honestly say we didn't have enough qualified educated workers here. However, with all the outsourcing colleges' schools of Computer Science have seen enrollments drop by upwards of 60%. MIT had 500 graduates in their school of Computer Science in 2000. In 2004 it was 200. Bryant College in RI had 200 Computer Science graduates in 2000. It was 19 in 2006. So it's really a self-fulfilling prophecy. Business says there aren't enough qualified people. The President and Congress agree. They raise the H-1B caps and don't enforce employment laws for them to be hired, turn a blind eye to corporate L-1 abuse, and encourage offshore outsourcing through the tax code/policies. And in the end we have fewer jobs here in the US because we have fewer Computer Science and Engineering graduates, as why major in those areas if all you see is a shrinking employment market?
