These are some big numbers cash and jobwise. A quick Google search will find plenty more. India, and the rest of Asia, has alot of smart, talented people who can live middle - class lifestyles on a whole lot less than it takes here. I work in manufacturing, and take it from me - companies will farm out anything they can to make an extra buck. This trend will affect more than just the "crappiest" programmers. Even if you are good at whatever you do, you may find yourself doing it for less pay than you like. A race to the bottom is an ugly thing.
It's not a question of work quality. An electrical engineer in India with a bachelors degree and 3-4 years of experience earns about $8000 US per year. Wanna compete with that?
