Many, many tech companies are hiring Asians rather than Americans or
Europeans in order to save money. Oracle itself has hired many Indians
instead of Americans, and the trend has not yet peaked. The Oracle jobs
forum has had postings from Indian companies looking to hire Indians to do
Oracle work for $10/hour. This work is remarked to American firms for $20
or $30/hour which is quite a bit less than companies would have to pay for
American or European labor.
However not all labor is equivalent. The field may saturate, but really
good people will remain in demand.
