Pray tell, just where are these 'alleged' good paying jobs and could you list a few because they surely are not in WNY.
What do you define as a 'good paying job'? I feel such a job starts at $60K and goes up from there....
See for example here:
http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos267.htm
Computer software engineers are supposedly one of the job categories that are being outsourced to India, yet here they are earning a median wage of $85,370 with 75% of them earning over $67,620 and the number of such jobs is projected to grow from the current 857,000 to 1,181,000 over the next eight years.
That is about a 4% increase in jobs per year versus US population growth of under 1%, so that is real job growth, and in a field that is being "outsourced" to India.
That is only one category, there are many other categories of high tech employment at that BLS site and they all show the same story: Increasing numbers of people employed, not decreasing.
And yes, over the same time period many jobs really were outsourced to India. Thing is the economy created jobs faster than they were outsourced.
