I sympathise with the people waiting to get a job. There is a similar pattern around the world. Jobs moving away from the industralised world to the third world. The politicians tell us that this is economics. But I think more can be done rather than let market economics take over. Make the politicians work for you, not the other way around. Don't do business with companies that "take" but not "give". Excuses such as "we have to remain competitive by moving the jobs elsewhere" is BS. The motivebehind is "more profits". The trouble is that IT traditionally is not union backed...there is no bargaining power for this group.
The high tech sector is going to suffer even more. Do something before every job disappears!
