IT is horrible lately. My impression is that all IT has been outsourced to India. Is there any IT support left in North America?

I'm a new grad in IT. It s—s and most of us are actively looking elsewhere for work. There's little growth opportunities here, it's a cost center. No road map to promotion , no guidelines, nothing.
Take a look at the new CIOs track record. Loads of outsourcing and layoffs where ever she goes. Expect more of them same for IT in the future.
I have no idea who the IT people I talk to work with, but most of the ones that message me or want to do a screen sharing are contingent workers (red-badge in Cisco lingo), so they could be outsourced.
We have a lot of data centers on premise, so there has to be on-site support for hardware issues. Most of the end-user tech support is remote in call center type working environment.
It is because IT is running on razor thin budget.. so resources have been cut ..low cost providers have been onboarded.
new CIO said no i wont outsource everything. Reasonably good strategy/vision but the reality after 1.5 years is not very much at all.
IT got even more where a select few are in the know. Transformation is the word but nothing shown or measured to demonstrate anything happening.
The CIO has no clue about what is going on - outsourced to a single person who is working his own company vs for Cisco. But the bonus of 2 paychecks.
How the heck did that conflict of interest not get high lighted.
Every recruiter contacting me is Indian and appears to be calling from India, but with a US number... and speaking in code that H1B's understand.
my local IT dude is an old hippie-type with long pony-tail hair. he can't be outsourced. oh well, an h1b can come over and takeover maybe.
