I.B.M. Explores Shift of White-Collar Jobs Overseas. A tape of an internal discussion provides a revealing look at how companies are grappling with a growing trend. By Steven Greenhouse. [New York Times: NYT HomePage]

I think that this is the best quotes from the article:

"Increased global trade was supposed to lead to better jobs and higher standards of living," said Donald A. Manzullo, an Illinois Republican who is the committee chairman. "The assumption was that while lower-skilled jobs would be done elsewhere, it would allow Americans to focus on higher-skilled, higher-paying opportunities. But what do you tell the Ph.D., or professional engineer, or architect, or accountant, or computer scientist to do next? Where do you tell them to go?"

On the other hand, Tom pointed me to this viewpoint by Bruce Eckel.
