Is there any evidence that paying more for IT workers results in better quality of service?

It probably won't succeed to complain about this on the basis that the result might be poor, if the real problem is that outsourcing firms are abusing the H1B visa to reduce wages.

What happens is that those with the skills, even in India, demand enough that they aren't working for these outsourcing companies.

This is why there are different connotations between "outsourcing" and "remote workers". One implies the lowest bid.
