The number of IT jobs that moved offshore has reached 160,785, according to the Washington Alliance of Technology Workers. The organization claims to maintain the only web counter of job losses overseas from the United States. Almost 100,000 net jobs were lost to the US tech sector in this period.

3. I'll bet at least 10x also
There are too many statistics that say the number is 300k or below..
Goldman Sachs put out a report referring to it, promptly buried

report, yet that one, with the least solid statistics, is the one
quoted...probably because it's the lowest number.
