I saw this article in today's San Francisco Chronicle; it was originally published in the Free Press. I know that these are "only" call center jobs, but its nice [[1) to see these jobs returning from overseas, or at least not going overseas in the first place, and [[2) having these new jobs being created in Highland Park.

The best news is that there's any reversal of offshoring at all. Let's hope it builds momentum sooner than later. :D
