Cites recent layoffs but has no real stats on the decline of outsourcing, near shoring, etc. Weak.
Part of the problem with India is lack of standards.
There are people who are good at programming in both the US and India and people who are bad at it.
The problem is in the US most of the bad ones don't end up getting a CS degree where in India they do. This means there are a lot of people in India who have a little bit of skill and can get a job but not do it that great. Their US counterpart might have switched to business or something else as they are less expected to get a tech (viewed a good a job) related job by their family. Obviously there are more complexities but bottom line its not just the cost it is the quality of work.
