Hi XE, as far as the electronics industry goes and from what I have personally seen on the outsourcing front is manpower is the lure. For one engineers' U.S. salary they can get 5-10 engineers in India, but a lot of companies are beginning to realize that body count is not enough as quality suffers due to the lack the real world experience as most are straight out of school. I guess it is all part of the learning curve...
