There is an interesting article on CNN about IBM’s new Project Match. Basically, certain laid-off employees are offered positions in “growth markets” (e.g. India, China etc.). This is probably a trend that will accelerate. The outflow of jobs overseas will continue despite the downturn in those markets.

I am now more certain than ever that international experience and language skills will be things that make a significant impact in terms of graduating in this market.
