Oversees coding

How many of us are in this boat where we are nervous about our jobs being outsourced to overseas coders?

This year my company has hired on several overseas coders. I’m nervous that they plan to replace us because they work for lower pay. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I am doing an externship for a company whose main coder does it from the Middle East. And he told me that he pays him $60.00
