"Now, all kinds of knowledge work can be done almost anywhere. "You will see an explosion of work going overseas," says Forrester Research Inc. analyst John C. McCarthy. He goes so far as to predict at least 3.3 million white-collar jobs and $136 billion in wages will shift from the U.S. to low-cost countries by 2015."

And, if you add up the BLS estimates for jobs created from 2001 through 2010,you get 3.45 million jobs created. If these estimates, are right, doesn't seem like much growth will be taking place, if any, at all.

(Do I sound really worldly, important and international yet?)
