The Other Side of the Outsourcing Debate (washingtonpost.com)
by Decius at 9:56 am EDT, Apr 6, 2004

] IEEEUSA: I don't think, like the industry reps and their study
] surrogates have said, it is just low level work that will
] move offshore.
]
] Without good data, it is hard to advise people on what
] to do, what to retrain in and what to study and whether
] they are at risk. I don't put too much stock in the UC
] Berkeley study that says 14 million jobs are at risk.
]
] Some work will still need to be done in the US.
]
] I also don't think that Chairman Greenspan's comments
] that it is just low level work moving offshore is a very
] accurate picture of what is going on.
]
] Bottom line is that I don't have good advice for
] folks.

This is a really excellent interview. The speaker is very down to earth, acknowledges problems that most people are unwilling to discuss, and attacks the political hyperbole on both sides.
