There are jokes all the time about calling a company like Dell or HP, only to get connected to tech support in India with someone who calls themselves "Bob". Those are the kind of jobs I would like to keep here in the US.


Unfortunately, most of those jobs arent going to come back either. To the credit of a few companies. I have been reading in some business magazines (Businessweek,Forbes,and also WSJ) that some companies have actually relocated some of these jobs back to the states because of the increasing high cost of labor in Asia and low customer satisfaction rates of American consumers.
