There are a few things that keep me employed, but those things are getting FEWER and FEWER, and one of these days, I suspect I will be forced out of a TECHNICAL role into a business or management role. I DREAD the thought.
It used to be that these jobs were simply outsourced overseas, and companies COULD get away with hiring whole legions of technical folks OVER SEAS.
Now though.............LOTS of companies sponsor H1-B visas, and bring them here. While they are LEGAL, They are displacing AMERICAN workers who WANT the job.
