India-based information technology company Infosys said Thursday it will hire 2,000 workers at its planned North Carolina hub over the next four years.
Infosys executives were joined by North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper at a news conference in which they said the hub will be developed in the state's Research Triangle region. The company expects to hire the first 500 North Carolina workers within two years as part of an overall strategy leading to eventual creation of 10,000 job overall across the four sites. The first was announced for Indiana in May and the other two locations haven't yet been announced.
Infosys already has more than 1,100 jobs in North Carolina and will begin hiring later this year, company President Ravi Kumar said in the appearance before reporters at North Carolina's old Capitol Building with Cooper.
Kumar stressed that the jobs created as part of its U.S. expansion would go to American workers. While workers could come to North Carolina from all over the country, Kumar emphasized the company aimed to fill positions in part through recruiting local university graduates and training workers via a customized community college program.....

“Local university graduates”:
When my son graduated from UNC-Charlotte last December, there were over 100 men from India getting master’s degrees in computer science. Mid-year graduation, mind.
The staffer who read out the names was reeling off those 14-syllable Maharashtran names like nobody’s business. Bill said there was a thing where you could call in to your department and pronounce your name on a recording, and then they would get it right at the ceremony. (He didn’t, so they got his German name wrong.)
And my FRiend said that, when he lived in an apartment complex in Durham, there were so many South Asians that they had India vs. Pakistan cricket matches in the parking lots on weekends.
Men not being allowed in the women’s room have anything to do with it?
After Trump is gone, it will be business as usual. Right now they ate sucking up. One of many reasons why we need him for the full 8 years.
This was some years ago, before that was an issue. Also, I don’t get the connection.
These are companies hiring H1B visa workers and demolishing American wages. They should be dismantled and run out of our country.
You have proof of that or just your opinion?
Wrong type of win, though. I want to see things like “Small Business Formation up by 2,000 Over Last Year.”
So even good jobs at larger companies aren’t “real” jobs in your view?
I fear at firms like Infosys, they are temporary. And the economic health of the country isn’t well measured by big, government-bribing entities adding jobs temporarily in response to some loophole or anther that has temporarily swung in their favor. It is much better measured by small business job creation, which we aren’t hearing much about lately.
Try doing a search on Infosys at Breitbart. “...roughly 93%-94% of Infosys’s United States workforce is of the South Asian national origin (primarily Indian).” He was absolutely right, they need kicked out of this country.
They are a direct threat to my livlihood. They undercut amerivan salaries.
See my post #2. If your definition of “American Jobs,” includes, “employees not from India,” then these aren’t “American Jobs.” Men (almost always men) are coming here from India and getting tech degrees from our universities. They are being hired by lots of US companies, but also companies based in India such as Infosys.
In a way, though, it’s a Trump “win,” because it shows that Indian companies don’t anticipate the U.S.’s crashing big time in the near future.
Not good. Yes they push out american workers. Disney made their IT folks train their relacements. Their replacements were NOT US citizens.
More likely a phony hub.
This is how Infosys works...
They start using LinkedIn to contact people in similar fields and offer them wages at 30-70% lower.
After the Americans tell them to drop dead, they then tell the powers that be that they were unable to find anyone with the correct skills.
i.e. bring in more workers from India.
I myself got such a contact.
They wanted me to move to LA for 35/hr.
I think you’ll see support for my comments right here on this thread. More than 100% fact, it’s a threat.
So you don’t have proof, just others that feel the same way you do? That’s not what I asked for. I was wanting to see what you were saying about this company could be backed up with facts. I would’ve asked the moderators to take down this thread if you could show me, definitively, that this company is bad news for American workers, but you have yet to show me that.
Are Disney and Infosys the same company? That’s like me saying that I had a bad experience at Burger King so don’t eat at Hardee’s.
