Maybe that says more about the pathetic wages & conditions being
offered by these large corporations.

I realise the original posting was talking about the US, but the same
thing applies in Australia & the common denominator is that this
outsourcing is being done by the greediest & most socially immoral
entities (Banks, telco's etc.)

What crap.

The Banks and Telcos are almost the LAST organisations to outsource
off-shore. Most of Australia's secondary industries (manufacturing etc)
outsourced off-shore years ago. For example, almost all textiles and
footwear companies did this in the 80s or earlier. Banks and telcos are
simply following this trend, much later than many other industries, and
certainly not leading it. Or would you call clothing manufacturers "the
greediest and most socially immoral entities".
