I don't mean to start a furore here but I know atleast one contractor, he has his own firm, here who has had a taste of the "differences in work ethics" when he(he's of indian origin BTW)tried getting lots of jobs for several clients here thru outsourcing etc.

There are lots of qualified professionals here(in holland) who are sitting home/jobless. And that's pretty bad.

I mean this whole recession thing has some real ugly things happening.
