Doesn't matter. As long as IBM (along with a lot of other short-sighted and definitely un-American companies) is pushing to provide offshore programmers we'll continue to have a shortage of IT professionals at home. Our students are smart enough to see what's going on and those that don't speak Indian will continue to flock away from IT as a career. I quote - "100 schools in the United States alone and 80 additional schools in the rest of the world". So, it looks like even IBM is 50/50 American. Basic economics says that if the supply is low, the wages are up. Offshoring is preventing this from happening.

If the supply is low, AND DEMAND IS HIGH, then the wages are up....
