Depends. If any aspect of your job requires interaction/interface with actual people then language, cultural nuances, and inter-personal relations matters... and that applies to internal as well as external customers. The higher your job pays, the more that's true.

Software engineering and para-legal work doesn't offshore very well for example, although people keep trying. Ask Boeing how that worked out.
