American jobs being taken by lower paid workers ….

….. lower-paid, highly qualified American (a.k.a not foreign, not Indian, but American) workers, that is. [WSJ]

For long, anti H1B propagandists like Lou Dobbs and Ron Hira (no link love for either) have complained about highly qualified tech workers from India accepting positions in the U.S., for perhaps, a marginally lower pay than their American counterparts.

WSJ talks about a new trend in corporate America where businesses and employees (not necessarily in technology) are having to adapt to a slower economy. Faced with cost cutting, companies are hiring employees who are either over-qualified for the post or those who will take responsibilities for more than one positions or both, all for a lower pay.

Perhaps the Indians were simply ahead of the pack on this trend?
