It's everybody.
Our network sysadmin (a Bush voter) was kind of gloating about how programming salaries were headed down. So I asked him, "When our jobs are shipped overseas, whose network are you going to administer?" Sobered him up.
Then all of these IT people and accountants are going to start looking for the jobs that can't be outsourced. By the law of supply and demand, those jobs will therefore pay less. And a lot of people are going to lose those jobs.
No one is safe from outsourcing. If you own a home and whole sectors of white collar workers are put out of work or forced to take huge pay cuts, they won't be able to afford to buy your home -- at least not at its current price. Then home values have nowhere to go but down.
This outsourcing trend, under the guise of free trade, and using loopholes in L-1 and H-1B visa laws to accelerate (by insourcing), must be addressed.
