I don't think it's an issue about who is working what jobs here. I've seen that a lot more companies are outsourcing their work to overseas companies because they're underbidding the domestic companies. Partly because the cost of living is lower in other parts of the world. And, in my opinion - someone correct me if I'm wrong - I think a lot of domestic companies have gotten greedy. I think we've basically bid ourselves out of work. I'm not saying we should have to work for "slave wages" as it was put earlier, but I don't think I have to get rich, either.
