High Tech Dems: Where Oh Where Has My Job Gone?

Where Oh Where Has My Professional Job Gone? Nearly 1 million IT-related jobs will move offshore over the course of the next 15 years, according to a report released by Forrester Research, Inc. It will take eight people to replace a senior manager. No problem. Hire the eight people in India and the cost will still be less. Are other professional jobs immune? Outsourcing is not just for customer service or support programming any more. Or is it? Our panel will look at whether these predictions are real, what action or legislation can and should be done to address this issue, and what the impact of outsourcing will be on people and information. Join us on Tuesday, December 9 as we look at the myriad of thorny issues related to this subject and our livelihood. Go to www.hightechdems.com to register.
