    Calm down dear! Your job is not going to India

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6283428.stm

    Claims that the UK is losing large numbers of white-collar jobs through outsourcing to India and other nations is overstated, a report has said.
    Instead, there has so far been little direct evidence of significant job migration, according to the study by the Work Foundation.

    It said that while off-shoring had taken place in past years, there was no real impact on UK white-collar jobs.

    The organisation added that most debate on the subject was wrongly alarmist.


    There you are, nothing to worry about.

    So who are all those dusky skinned individuals I've been working with over the past 2 or 3 years?

      you daft racist!

      probably making up the shortfall, our universities now turn out psychologists and physiotherapists rather than engineers... didn't you know? its not trendy to be an engineer/computer scientist...

        What a peculiar organisation that published the report.

          So in summary... it's bollocks, & probally funded by you through taxes?

            I often wonder why this sudden "skills shortage" is coinciding with our recent "improved education system!"

              When I was working out in the USA I saw a documentary about the American education system the government said the same percentages of students were passing exams. The reporter (Barbara Walters) had a test completed by High School students in Japan, Germany and USA. The Japanese got about 90% Germany next then the American students got only 45%.
              Example of questions what was Chernobyl, USA answer Cher’s real name.

              You can’t believe the government statistics.

                    I bank with HSBC, I will not talk to anyone in the call centre in India it's too much like hard work. Always ask to speak to someone who speaks English.
