TCS lamented:

I was job hunting at the beginning of 2002. Went looking for
"engineering,software", "EDP", "programming", "software engineers",
"computer..." and the rest of the other titles for software development
jobs. There wasn't ONE. Scanned the entire job ads from A to Z and
there wasn't a single software development job ad.

That was february 2002. In my 20 years experience, this has NEVER
happened before. Even now there aren't 25% the listings there were in
any given sunday from 1981 to 2001.

The exportation of these lucrative jobs are a result of the crushing economic
regulations U.S. companies face from the alphabet soup of government agencies.

Who can blame U.S. companies for outsourcing these jobs to India when the
salary cost for that India employee is less than just the Social Security payroll
deduction of his American counterpart, and with no EPA or OSHA or whatnot
to deal with, is it any wonder high-tech companies are doing just that?
