Outsourcing in the New Economy:
Lots of papers on this theme from inst for Internat Economics:
"... Globalization of IT hardware contributed to rapid productivity and job growth in the 1990s, and globalization of software and IT services likely will spur a second wave of US productivity and job growth. Nevertheless, the specter of losing white-collar IT jobs abroad looms large, and frequently cited projections indicate that millions of jobs could be lost to offshore workers. While some jobs will be done abroad, just as in the 1990s, higher-paid jobs demanding IT skills will grow very quickly in the United States. Public policy must be redirected to assure that US workers can both transition to, and upgrade their skills for, the jobs that globalization and technological change are creating.
