Do we have some hard numbers on how many jobs really have been "offshored"?
I cannot escape the feeling that this is a tempest in a teapot. And I say
that, having been 'let go' by a company that offered both nearshore (Canada)
and offshore (India) work. Compared to the number employed in the U.S., it's
barely a sliver of the pie.

Two ironies keep striking me. The first is that the press has taken to
calling this outsourcing, which must be heck for companies that are
outsourcers in the typical sense. Second is that the weaker American dollar
has hurt this value proposition.
