Можно вот здесь поподробнее? Откуда такие прогнозы?

The demand for well-trained workers has prompted an explosion in wages for the most experienced Indian personnel. And attrition has reached epidemic proportions as workers job-hop to better salary packages. Pay for tech and banking executives, airline pilots, and engineers -- all sectors experiencing huge growth -- jumped between 25% and 30% in 2005.
Competition for talent is fierce. Larsen & Toubro Ltd., the subcontinent's largest construction company, loses 800 experienced engineers a year to software firms and multinational engineering companies, despite having doubled salaries over the past couple of years.
In response, the company has launched a global head-hunting campaign to woo back staffers lost to foreign rivals by offering salaries of as much as $100,000 -- a huge sum in India, where average annual income is just $620. As a hedge against losing more engineers, it started an in-house IT-solutions division, L&T Infotech, chiefly to give employees who want to expand their skills an option rather than resignation.
In the meantime, an army of unemployed recent graduates, estimated at more than five million, is expected to grow. Mr. Saraf, whose firm Iqura also has an executive-search business, says most IT firms now won't touch anyone with less than two years of experience. He says he regularly receives graduate applicants who have learned outdated computer languages.
"I've even had to tell [new hires] they can't wear slippers to business meetings," he says.

И еще задач - моим детям хватит.

Ну да, ключевое слово - "как-то"
I had Gene Burd at New West run my numbers for me. He figures that no more than 40 percent of your income should go to mortgage payments. “Forty percent of your gross income would be $1,648 a month,” he told me. “You qualify for a storage unit.”
Well, that would be a creative solution!
“This market’s almost done, Rebecca,” he told me frankly. “It can’t go much further.” But what about all those people who said the market might stagnate, but California real estate never crashes?
Burd did have some good advice for me, though: he told me I should get married. “Find a rich old guy who won’t live that long,” he said sunnily. “You’re a good-looking girl!”
