I read a Newsweek article about this. The same globalization advantages and disadvantages that have been effecting blue collar workers will now be effecting engineers, lawyers, and other white collar jobs. You can outsource huge document review projects and pay they well educated reviewers much less in India or the Phillipines. It will be interesting to see the differences in how politicians treat this phenomenon as opposed to how they enable companies to shut down American plants to open cheaper ones in other countries. I also know that large corporations have gotten around the immigration laws by having employees in foriegn offices come to work here, which has much the same effect. On the other hand, a hefty percentage of new doctors in rural areas are Indian or someother foriegn nationality, and it is because they are willing to work for less $$ and take the doctor positions that are less desireable. This has been helpful, because there is not as acute a shortage of rural doctors. Maybe similar patterns will emerge in the other professions.
