My Own Competiton with H1B realities?

Hello out there,
My own expertise is currently being fine tuned while finishing certification in SEO "Search Engine Optimizing" course. These new skills are intended to leverage a background in ERP, CRM, Business Analysis, and DBMS expertise. While recently doing a google search for SEO and ERP expertise, I found that (wow am I surprised!) that a number of H1B people are also aggressively trying to corner the market in my own back yard ! Here is the google search results for SEO and ERP keywords:

http://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1GGLS_en-USUS291US305&source id=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=erp+and+seo

This example search result supports my on-going premise that while US corporations continue to open doors to offshore business and closing doors to both qualified and younger US workers, the battle for technical expertise in this country continues to be lost to the greed factor in national economics.

By the way, while earlier tooting my own whistle regarding my own skills, the fact remains that this battle to provide specialized technical skills to US workers continues to look gloomy ! I, personally, was fortunate, over the years, to develop tech skills as a consultant. Of course, on the job training is indeed the best teacher for any skill set. However, given the current greed motivated USA job environment, I am pessimistic regarding available future secure jobs (or opportunities to get meaningful experiences) for today's students of math, science, and technically oriented careers. Well now that I have vented a few of my concerns for today's post , what are your own thoughts on these matters?
