It is not really bad,
It is a transition time, outsourcing jobs to China/India or other countries is certainly the global trend, and not only the US does. However, it will make US job market even more challenging. US design firms nowaday focus on project definition and derive specifications, algorithm etc. then oversea contractors will do the rest with much less $$. Look at big US corps such as IBM, Intel, Mentor Graphic, their R&D's are in the US but their designs can be done oversea, in India. Thus, US engineer is doing much important job and play the leader role instead. This requires much higher education and talent. This trend will even push up the US education system to the higher degree. It is the revolution of US engineering career.
Just the idea,
