Will "tech" IT jobs ever come back to the U.S.?

"Offshoring" this type of job was sold on the premise of "lowering our costs on goods and create *new* jobs". All the office support positions went away, the suppliers went away, the network jobs, call centers, maintenance people, printers, marketing businesses, everything seemed to go with it (not to mention all the "For Lease" signs on the newly constructed buildings that went up). 7+ yrs later, most "jobs" are in the much lower-paying labor industry, or part-time, no benefits. Goods haven't gotten cheaper, and what difference does it make if people are unable to buy them anyway because they're unemployed or working for half of what they could earn (and could've also afforded insurance)? While I have heard MANY people express frustration over several years of not being able to verbally communicate with the "offshore" help desk personnel of LARGE (formerly high paying, high employing) "U.S." companies, nothing has changed. WILL these critical jobs ever come back??? Or HOW???

That's why I changed majors in college.
Reply:Really? No Tech jobs in the U.S?


Then where do I spend 8 hours day from Monday to Friday?





Maybe it's just your geographic location with the lack of tech jobs. If anything, there is a shortage of qualified computer programmers, software architects, and software project managers, from what people tell me. I get lots of interest when I send a resume out from jobs that require an experience Java/C++/C# programmer.





The reason for more expensive goods, is because of high inflation and I'm not going to explain the causes of that here.
