most of the jobs that are moving out of the country are the type of jobs that are high profile. And therefor we hear a lot about it.
Typically, it is programming projects that require teams of 20 or 30 people (maybe) and that lasts for a year or longer.
But many programmers are employed where proximity is important and where the primary product isn't the software itself. Maybe it is a small financial institution or maybe a factory which needs a few programmers to build in house systems.

I agree with that assessment, however, the loss of the "big projects" will flood the market with programmers for many years. It is like musical chairs with 3 chairs and 10 players. Your point focuses on the 3 chairs, but not the 7 players without a chair. Nobody is suggesting that *all* programming jobs are disappearing.
