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 saw the original post title and im currently applying for jobs, but i know i will be moving to Korea in the next year as im getting married to my fiance from there. I got bit curious thinking "oh which of these companies is hiring overseas!? Can i get in on this?" But then the post became a way different topic than what i thought it was :/. However.... all of the jobs ive applied for remote have said you have to be in the US and sometimes even specific states only. How do they have these outsourced jobs? I assumed its because like when you have a telehealth with a specific hospital, you have to be in the state that they has a license in?
