Alarm as white-collar jobs vanish overseas (link broken so I removed it), Australian Financial Review:
There has been a steady progression up the value scale in work sent to low-cost countries – from manufacturing to data processing, call centres and computer software.
Now there is evidence that China and India are competing for high-level jobs in financial services, industrial design, architecture, research and development, engineering, medicine and even management areas such as human resources and business consulting.
Every country realizes the value to their economy of jobs in science, engineering and technology. Countries are taking steps to create a environment that will attract those jobs. Countries that do this less effectively will suffer.
