1) Silicon Valley has a higher tech population which is not representative of the typical cross section in any other area in America.
2) How many are on H-1B visas?
3) Labor rates in India are cheap. It's not that they are any smarter.

Low wages are disincentivizing the science/engineering talent pool. It's supply and demand.

Yep, engineers that contribute so much to advancement of technology and society are paid sooo little and exposed to lawsuits by overpaid lawyers. Manufacturing is farmed out, now engineering, we will be “servicing” each other until we run out of money to China.
