2
lakh hi-tech jobs to move out of US annually
NEW YORK: US technology services giants such as IBM could
move as many as 200,000 engineering jobs annually overseas
in the next decade as they trim white collar workforces
in the United States, according to industry groups and economists.
The loss of these jobs -- with median annual salaries exceeding
$100,000 -- is expected to boost the unemployment rate among
US engineers above the 6.7 per cent rate today, which is
already five times greater than in 2000.
