13. This article makes it sound like...
...there's a danger of this happening in the future. Well, find yourself a programmer and they'll tell you that it's been going on for at least 3 years. Longer than that, but offshoring got really popular about 2002 or 2003.

Manufacturing jobs weren't even an option for my generation. The factories had all been moved to foreign countries by the time we were old enough to work in them. So we either worked in call centers or studied computers. Now those jobs get sent off too. The corportations make a killing and the money doesn't trickle down, just like it never did. The rich get richer and the poor and middle class get fucked. Something's gotta give.
