That depends upon a "worker's" skill level.

If one's skills isn't easily duplicated by a person from the Third
World, then that person, under globalization, becomes even more
valuable to his/her employers.

In engineering, the mediocre guys are screwed. Their jobs are going
overseas. On the flip side, the consulting fees for the good ones are
going ever higher. There aren't enough of them and there is an ever
bigger market out there for the various corps. to feed.

Conclusion: for the very smart and very motivated, globalization is
wonderful. For everyone else (in this country), no.

Just make yourself smarter and more motivated and you won't have to
worry about it.
