Fact is, the worldwide supply of educated service
workers has suddenly increased and will continure increasing.  Word is
that most jobs on Wall Street could be exported.

I guess this is what wage deflation looks like: ask for more at same or
less remuneration.

Don't worry about the 10+ years folks.  They are a bad ROI because their
productivity is low and they impact benefit programs negatively.  Now
if they decide to bust-ass and work on a 1099, the young folk might be
in trouble. Place your bets.
