The very notion of "offshoreable" is nonsense. Many companies could move the entirety of their operations overseas. Likewise, many jobs that actually are offshored end up creating a huge mess that requires more domestic workers to clean up.<p>In short, whether a job is offshoreable depends not so much on the job itself, but on management, the available talent, culture, and a whole slew of so many other dynamic factors that any kind of study pinning the notion down to a few indicators is destined to be meaningless.<p>We'd learn a lot more by studying specific factors that lead to offshoreability rather than just assuming a bunch of them and trying to draw big numeric conclusions.
