Top 10 degrees in demand

In theory, this is the case. However, engineers and IT people will loose jobs no matter what the outcome is.

 

Even that seems to be subject to controversy. There are papers that show that there is "no evidence that outsourcing led to employment losses in the United Kingdom during the period 1995 to 2001 in either the manufacturing or the services sectors."

Furthermore, it turns out that "the U.S. actually “insources” to other countries more than it outsources", and “this surplus has been increasing in recent years".

Since efficiency has increased due to outsourcing, “jobs displaced by service outsourcing are likely to be offset by new jobs created in the same sector.”

Those charts about US salaries seem to confirm this. This NYT article provides a deper insight. It says: "Of the 1.5 million jobs lost last year in "mass layoffs'' - that is, when 50 or more workers are let go at once - less than 1 percent were attributed to overseas relocation; that was a decline from the previous year."

But then again, not even experts seem to agree at all. This is a truly complex and sensitive subject that affects the social structure of a nation and it is isn´t easy to come up with objective analyses.
