I'd say this trend has already started at least in the Software industry. My current client recently fired all his American contractors, also fired a many American full time employees. But they kept the Latino contractors, and they even hired more. They realized we are cheaper and just as good.
Admin and engineering work might get passed off but anything involving sales or marketing is fair game - if your performance produces revenue for a company, whether you’re Colombian or Indian or American, you’ll get your fair share of commission, and even more if you’re a top producer
I'm a digital nomad. I trade for a living. I haven't had a job in over 5 years. And I voluntarily left my last one to start my digital nomad journey. Nobody is replacing me because I'm not hiring anyone to trade my own accounts. I do well enough myself to travel the world and arbitrage my earnings versus my cost-of-living. There are many fields where one can be an entrepreneur, digital nomad or otherwise, where if you are good enough, people and companies will pay a premium for your skills. It doesn't matter where you come from. It matters what skills you have and how much you've honed them to stand out amongst the crowd. The assessment you're pointing out has mostly to do with commoditized contract positions where nobody really stands out and anyone can replace anyone in that realm. So, the only thing that matters in the context you're pointing to is cost. But, that's not anywhere near the whole story, as I've pointed out above. The concept of digital nomads or whatever fancy words we might call remote or off-site talent, is not going anywhere. In fact, it is growing and picking up pace. All that people need to do is hone their skills to move beyond being a mere commoditized number and instead be irreplaceable. That's where the future is going. That's what I've done in an industry where the rule of 90 applies (90% of beginning traders lose 90% of their committed money within 90 days). There is no more brutal industry within which to be a digital nomad. Yet, here I am 5 years later making more money than any job has ever paid me while living internationally at far lower cost than my home country and doing all my "work" digitally and remotely. If I can do it, in the brutal industry I've chosen, then I believe that anyone can do it much easier in other fields. Technology is providing the foundation for every human being to be able to do just that in the coming years, for those who so choose. What you are talking about is specifically commodity workers - numbers. To me it doesn't matter if you are from the US, Canada, Europe, or say Colombia, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, China - you NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER want to be pigeon-holed into a commoditized position. Just don't do it. Hone your skills until you become an expert, and then hone them some more until you become THE expert at whatever it is you're doing. And don't let RUclipsrs tell you it's all over and that you're going to be phased out. That's just nonsensical noise. Keep in mind the expert never gets phased out until long after he or she leaves this earth.
Last 2 & best customer service experiences were out of Mumbai. Locals. One involved a complicated matter. I even asked to speak to a Manager to praise the Rep. That said, I am a Digital Nomad & have run my business outside USA for nearly 10 yrs. Loving every minute of it ! 😎😎😎
This has been going on since the invention of the internet. And is precisely why there will be more digital nomads, not less. They just won't be living any better than the locals, but they may be priced out of the USA.

Sales is always king

I need to visit Mumbai!
Interesting. The advent of AI will also accelerate this trend.
This has been going on since the invention of the internet.
And is precisely why there will be more digital nomads, not less.
They just won't be living any better than the locals, but they may be priced out of the USA.
