I don't think it's only for IBM and I don't think many have it worse. It all depends on the individual outsourcing companies and if they treat workers badly, they can't retain the work force. You are viewing as if only the workers have competition not the employers. How do I know this? My company specializes in outsourcing to China and one of the criteria is to evaluate the work environment based on minimum standards. For the past year, you know how much the cost have risen? Almost 30 percent. We then evaluated India, and I was ecstatic that finally they were thinking about India. We found out Indian wages was 2-3 times cheaper but the very very big drawback was the infrastructure. This sums it all, until we can get our infrastructure right, nothing will change.

There is nothing miraculous about China, yes it is just a slave labour economy. But slave labor to what standards? Western standards? Imagine this, if these workers were not employed as cheap labors, what would they be doing? In India, we have so much cheap labor and alot are unemployed. Most end up as cheap labor for landlords, giving away 50% produce as rent. That's why you see so much poverty in India compared to China. Middle class? Do you know how much these slave labors are earning? The average salary is 150$ - 200$ a month. Most dorm is free including electricity and water except for food. You know what is the impact? They just created millions of consumers. These people buy cellphones, send back money to villages and power rural economy.

As for professionals and maangers salary, what industry are you talking about? IT? If it's IT, I reckon it's true but for others, I don't think so. Please check out the link below,
