I never mentioned the US. I'm in Beijing and absolutely flooded with resumes from hard-working, talented people.

Before you automatically write off all of China (as well as India and other nearby countries), consider that engineering is moving at a rapid pace here. Not only are some internet companies ahead of western counterparts (e.g. free to play gaming models), but there's simultaneously a boom in materials engineering, medical devices and clean-tech.

I realize that the US is particularly insulated from the market realities, due to a difficult immigration system amongst other things. I can't really comment much on the specifics. But those sorts of distortions don't don't generalize to the entire world, and they won't last forever.
