That's not what's happening.

A decade ago, IBM had 130,00 staff in the USA and very few in India.

Today, IBM has 130,00 staff in India and it refuses to say how many are left in the USA.

It's not really a question of saving a bit of money (20%, say) on American employees. IBM is just shipping jobs to India at a terrific rate because the cost of employing Indians is, in comparison, very very low.
