One more thought, seems IT takes both sides of the argument...They can’t find qualified people...but they can find them in India...
And while they say they cannot find qualified workers here, they are hiring hundreds or more of H-1B cheap-labor express workers who are often being trained by the older IT workers here in US who they are replacing...
Does not ring true to me...
I don’t think US should be supporting Indian and Chinese economies which is what we are doing...
From a geo-political perspective, India is a friend of the US. Modi is the Dondald Trump of India and a friend. It is the Modi fans in the US that Donald Trump needs.
Mainland China is just the opposite. No friend, not likelihood of friendship with the government, the communist party, or in government contolled industry.
India can be compared to the US in exactly the same way that my former Illinois can be compared to my current Georgia. I am a immigrant, a yankee who invaded Georgia, as are thousands of us from Rust Belt Cities.
State Farm (my former client) is shifting thousands of jobs (IT and insurance) from Illinois to Georgia and thousands of jobs from Illinois to Texas... and I don’t know how many to Arizona. A big loss for a Blue state and a big gain for Red States.
Modi is far closer to Trump in ideology, in sympathy, in practical alliance than the politicians in Illinois.
To shift the topic slightly: Where are these American IT workers? They arn’t in Blue Illinois... anymore. They aren’t (enough) in booming Georgia. Where are they?
