19. I hear it a lot in IT -- All of the good jobs are going to Indian/Pakistani/Bangledeshi folk who are
willing to uproot and move from one city to another for a 3-6 month gig. A lot of white (and black for that matter) programmers are seeing their skills go by the wayside as corporations opt for the $60.00/hr L1 resource that they can shed after 3-6 months in favor of the full-time or contract white resource at $80.00/hr to pay the placement firm mark-up plus the $15-$20 hr it costs to pay thier benefits while they are on contract.

Most of the hiring managers for good project work in our market now are Indian/Pakistani.

It feels like racism, but it is simple economics most likely.
