The average IBM pay in India is $17,000, compared with $100,000 for a senior IT specialist in the US.

Not rocket science for anyone schooled in business.

Generally speaking, the guys in India would be lower-skilled. When you’re talking apples to apples, a comparably skilled Indian employee runs about 50% of the US wage.

You cannot get the equivalent of a $100K guy in the US for $17K in India. That’s an entry-level wage over there.

oh right. strangely the other side of that cheerful little coin of yours is that those same smart business folks are not considering the long term effect on America and even the globe if America takes a nose dive to third world status. companies aren’t even going overseas anymore...they are just bringing guest workers here! so you tell me where are americans supposed to go to find a job? dont think this is just low tech workers....it is all types of jobs including IT, health, accounting, and other areas where americans have paid exorbitant rates to get a degree in these fields only to be cut out of the market by guest workers who are making tens of thousands less a year! interestingly how do they get away with it. used to be same pay for same job. not anymore. plus, these workers are cramming into lower priced housing and taking benefits because they don’t make enough to support themselves and their larger families. PLUS they are bringing their lifestyle and values here—and their biases—these middle east or eastern cultures that are male dominated—they are bringing it into the workplace. e.g., indian males are managers, they hire Indians and treat women like they are inferior. they also make fun of americans behind their backs and when you say anything...they say “this is the land of opportunity”. well maybe for them but not for us pretty soon.
