A friend made a very good point that many sysprogs lost their jobs
in OZ due to outsourcing; like one company had 8 SP, then
outsourced, & eventually ended up with 2 SP supporting a few sites.
Has this also been a factor in US?

It's a factor, but I'm not sure how great a factor.

The one place I was familiar with(7+ years ago). I heard they have
outsourced to India. Supposedly all their systems staff is being let
go and will be supported out of India. It is too early in the process
to know if it will work or not, IMO. My gut instinct is that it will
not work but I am not in any real position to know. I suspect that
the positions here will be around (although numbers will be smaller)
for some time. What I am really curious about when it falls flat on
its face.
