Lets hope these offshoring,cheapskate companies get hit right where it counts, in their tax pockets. They are ruining our industry! Most of us have years of experience in the field of Medical Transcription. In fact, I once worked for over $25 dollars an hour, now with the VR and ESLs, that gets down from anywhere between $7-11 an hour, and I used to be fast like 2400-2600 lines a shift, now barely making 1200 with the ESLs. At that rate, who can afford to work! Time to find another profession, if 7-9 cpl is the going rate and half that for ESLs VR for which you have to type the whole report over anyway for half the pay.

I'm not having it either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
