http://ebiquity.umbc.edu/blogger/2006/02/24/acm-information-technology-job-offshoring-study/ EBB is the ebiquity research group\\\'s blog at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). We focus on technologies that facilitate the design, implementation and control of distributed, intelligent information systems -- mobile and pervasive computing, ad hoc networking, multiagent systems, knowledge representation and reasoning, and the semantic web. As the tides of technology ebb and flow, we hope the good ideas wash up on our beach and the bad ones drift back out to sea.

What hogwash! This group does not consider the outright credit fraud from stealing customer's personal data, adding to the ruin of over 2 Million Americans per quarter a risk? And, none of the overseas IT staff can be touched by the law. And then the even more outragous statement that: Employment in the IT industry is higher today than it was at the peak of the dot-com bubble. UMBC needs to implement drug testing if they believe these kind of statements. These kind of articles are insulting to many people who are desperate to find work or have experienced identity thieft directly due to outsourcing. IT off shoring doen’t pose a national risk!

The GAO admits that they completely lost track! The job loss has now been shown to be over ten times this article's stated numbers. H1-B programs increased by 190,000 just in 2009 alone, while an IT recession has crossed into a depression. What a total joke!
