I'm in Australia and the company I work at has been moving away from hiring in the US and focusing on Australia. Management put out a possibly poorly phrased but informative statement that they found that the Australian developers were just as talented and productive, but "The exchange rate is very favorable". The culture, language skills, etc are all mostly similar enough that it's not like some random code sweatshop in India.
