Where America's white-collar jobs go: It's not just India

How am I supposed to compete with this:

The group employs 450 people, with 100 to 150 more hires projected for next year. Rookie programmers at EDS Africa make roughly $18,400 a year - and must pay all benefits, including health insurance, themselves. A comparable US worker might get $50,000, not including benefits.

That's about $9.25 per hour, and no benefits.

Ambitious nations and companies are rushing to claim their share of the US outsourcing pie.
