>The tech worker market segment the body shops proliferate within in the US is one-way permeable: from developing to developed world markets.

But software services flow the other way. Google, Facebook, Microsoft etc. are big players in India, and US employees benefit from increased revenue and profit from those populations.

You cannot arbitrarily pick and choose the aspects of globalization that hurt you vs. that benefit you.

From the context, I believe the OP meant US employees of the said companies.
