I know several men who have been laid off in favor of cheap Indian work and who've started their own handyman service while they look for other work. They are qualified to do a great deal and are more than capable, but that hardly means they'll get work. Do you know how much they make currently? I'd guess around $30k a year each. Do you know how much they made previously? I'd guess over $80k a year. It has nothing to do with skill. It has to do with the price of the work to the company. As a capitalist, who would you want doing work for you: an American who you'd need to pay $50k a year or an Indian who you'd need to pay $20k a year? The answer is simple.
