Comments on: how low would you go to get a job? http://www.cheezhead.com/2009/02/09/vedhow-low-would-you-go-to-get-a-job/ Insight and opinion from the world of employment.

With sites like getafreelancer.com where an individual can post jobs for other countries to bid on it makes owners realize how expensive US labor really is. Last week I had a project quoted for $5k in America and the same job was quoted for $800 in India. With other countries quality, education and English skills on the rise...it makes one wonder what the future will hold for an over priced job market in America. Sites like this one listed in the blog might play a small part in helping us keep our labor in check? Just a thought!

Seriously though, in this market the idea of low-bidding for jobs scares me. It kind of sets a scary precedent, no? @ Dave
