If this were true all the manufacturing jobs losses from the 80's onwards would long have translated into a happy new world. This fantasy advocated by globalization advocates has never actually panned out in the real world in any affected region even once. Yet it keeps on getting wheeled out in these discussions without any evidence supporting it. The problem with software engineers advocating 'overall efficiencies', hand waving away other's jobs and 'temporary pain' in this dis-passioned view makes itself scarce when it comes to H1B and outsourcing. How many software engineers are advocating removing H1B caps, increasing outsourcing and retraining affected engineers to be therapists, teachers, nurses in the interests of efficiency and societal benefit? It all seems a bit too self serving and self absorbed.
