From all I have heard, the death toll of IT workers (engineers and programmers) is mounting. Not literally, but I mean they are being laid off. And at the same time, 190,000 IT workers are being imported into the US this year, mostly from India.
I have seen first hand how these workers from India are treated. They work many more hours for less pay than the rest of us. They are hired by small software consulting “sweatshops” that look to replace whole IT departments in big companies.
The "sweatshop" company has total control over the foreign worker's fate. If they cause any trouble, they are deported. This is troubling to anyone with any sense of morality.
This also has me concerned about my future as a US worker. Will we be replaced by cheap, exploited labor from poor countries? I hear allot of rumors. But I don’t see many facts.
