Please dont forget the technology revolution. Everybody was predicting that computers will replace people and people will be without jobs.. <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rolleyes.gif' /><!--endemo-->

India should just keep low, hire good PR firm(s) and get the message across in an efficient way.. So far I have seen some good points to counter this negative propaganda..

1. Kerry's 57 Heinz factories..
2. 1$ of labour outsourced creates $1.12 value for the US and $0.33 for India or whoever..
3. IBM is hiring more because of outsourcing.
4. Technology will eventually replace people - already I have come across 1-800 numbers which are voice automated with "ok what do want" type systems.
5. computer appliances rather then servers with applications .
6. total outsourced jobs at end of 2005 => 600,000 out of a total of 140 million - hardly a big deal.
7. Alan Greenspan uvach => "A million American workers… currently leave their jobs every week, two-fifths involuntarily.... A million, more or less, are also newly hired… every week." He added, "This process is not new," and we "can be confident that new jobs will replace old ones, as they always have." I hope he comes out with something like "irrational exuberance" - he came up with that term to describe dot-com brouhaha. One candidate "illogical paranoia".. Graduate
8. $7 billion (?) cost saving for finance industry..

There might be some more that members might want to add ..

We should try and come up with some link between Dobbs and China. There has got to be something there. <!--emo&:unsure:--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='unsure.gif' /><!--endemo-->
