Now, a lot of the low-level/helpdesk jobs that involve basic troubleshooting are outsourced to India, but much of the network administration, server support (hardware especially), information security, deployments, etc has to be done in the USA and is not outsourced.

I don't know where you live, or where you work, but on the west coast, all of our customers, not some or a few, shipped everything out except perhaps one or two local coders to fix the Indian software that comes in for deployment and doesn't work.

Software development, software support, network engineering, R&D, web development, database design and administration are all gone and are not coming back.

That's a little bit more than just a help desk. And talking to the headhunters I know, nobody is adding staff this year, not even H1-B or L1 applicants.

You are talking to the wrong headhunters. I have linked more than one document that shows growth predicted and current as well as the first hand knowledge posted by my peers right here.

I.T. jobs are being added right now.
