Back in October, PBS aired a special called "1-800-India", and at the end they interviewed Clyde Prestowitz, author of "Three Billion New Capitalists: The great Shift of Power and Wealth to the East" and he spouted some facts like 80% of Fortune 500 companies outsource their labor overseas and over half of the students graduating from the top ten US universities (Math,Science,Tech) are from abroad. That would sure skew the data a bit.
While I haven't read his book yet (it sounds like a depressing read) you can read some interviews with him at..
