This article was in the CSM a few months ago when Obama was headed to India for an official visit.
Why some young US workers now seek fortunes in India - CSMonitor.com While Indians have long headed to the United States to boost their fortunes, Mr. Sigworth sees India as a land of opportunity where Americans can bring much-needed skills to the table – despite concerns that US education is turning out workers who cannot compete. "When I first moved to India I thought, 'Gosh, here I am surrounded by people who are doing algebra in elementary school.... [With] all these smart people, how can I even compete?' " says Sigworth, a 20-something from Connecticut who is cofounder and CEO of PharmaSecure in New Delhi. Interesting, eh? I personally know a handful of Indian-Americans who have moved back to India permanently. But it seems there is a small but growing expat American scene in major Indian cities, especially Bangalore, Mumbai, and New Delhi. |

I heard similar report on NPR about a month ago. People with degrees and specialized training seem to be facing a decision to leave this country to find the work they want. As a population the US might be a little over educated to take manufacturing jobs and replace the cheap labor we are chasing out of the country.
