Dear Bill,
1. Raise the salaries and U. S. citizens will do the jobs.

2. Use the Gates Foundation’s billions to train workers who have lost their jobs in manufacturing to learn tech jobs.

3. Learn a little public relations. Having the richest man in the world complaining that he can’t get U. S. workers to work at the salary someone from India is willing to take is more than a bit hypocritical. Spend your billions on suffering U. S. workers instead of in Africa.

Depending upon what you're talking about, that probably isn't possible - even in theory.

It's not the same. Not everyone can be an engineer, the thought processes are completely different. If you want to be a "web designer" or something like that, yeah, maybe a non-engineer can do that, but not otherwise. Engineering is a niche skill, especially software engineering

IBM has a program to become more efficient called LEAN. Some people say it stands for “Lay Off Every American Now”.
