More than a third of service jobs can be outsourced
Forrester Research Inc. analyzed 505 U.S. service occupations and determined that 175 of them could be done abroad. Forrester estimated the United States would lose 26% of computer programming jobs during that period and 4% of architects. [IT Facts.biz]
This falls in line with my previous post of a friend's opinion. The traditional line of thinking on this has been, "Don't worry about outsourcing manufacturing jobs, we're moving to a service-based economy." Are we so sure that other countries can't perform service-industry jobs as well?

Did you see that even McDonalds is centralizing? They'll be able to outsource that soon.
