Outsourcing Irony In India

That outsourced overseas call-center agent I just wrote about? He may not be living in India much longer.

Apparently, there a looming shortage of high-tech workers in the sub-continent.

Despite graduating some 400,000 engineers annually, only a fraction are actually ready to work in the high-tech industry. And observers worry that competition for scarce workers will push up wages, and drive jobs to even lower-paid locales.

Regardless, it's unlikely those jobs will be coming back States-side any time soon.
