Reply #3: I'm not that pessismistic

If we assumed a fixed model of the world, then that would be true. However, I see three big issues that may bring an opportunity to get jobs back:

-The retiring baby boomers, which will certainly begin depleting the work force. It was supposed to happen last year, but the recession got in the way.
-The rising wages. What was once cheap to outsource is now getting more expensive as market forces push up wages.
-The cost of outsourcing. One of these that is being impacted overseas is IT.
