The Staton Jones Report

In a continuation of refutations of the DoL report claiming that offshoring was eroding less than 8% of jobs, The New York Times offers a different perspective; namely, that high-end jobs are also going offshore right along with the lesser roles of coding and testing.

"The policy prescription you hear from people again and again as the response to the global competition of outsourcing is for Americans to move to high-end work," said Ronil Hira, an assistant professor for public policy at the Rochester Institute of Technology. "It's important to dispel the myth that high-end work is immune to offshore outsourcing."

"What is not clear," Mr. Hira added, "is how much of that high-end work will go abroad."
