Alot of companies are outsourcing and that doesn’t mean the work actually goes overseas. We have a floor in our building that once had cubes, but since the beginning of the year, rows of cubes were removed monthly and lined with 2×4 foot desks with workers from India. I have a feeling that a bunch of them live together, packed in houses.
The company we contract with charges 20 bucks an hour offshore, but they can bring the same person over here for 50 an hour, which is less than what we’d have to pay for an American. We must have 400 of them on that one floor, and i’m sure there are more scattered in other places too.
