Actually they could. Such as tax on importing of services. Or a business tax credit based on percentage of non-executive labor cost that is locally sourced.
If it's web/information related stuff, how do you tax that?
But wait, I thought it was just the low skilled , low pay jobs that Americans don't want that get sent to low cost countries ? Guess they should have gained some higher education and picked a profession that is growing here. Well, now they can retrain into something that is an up an coming career.
For those that didn't get it, my post was in sarcasm. These are the things that people tell me when I complain about skilled jobs being offshored here in the "rust belt"
They were here as H1B first and got trained by the IT staff who were then fired. They then went back to India to fool you into thinking H1B is not at issue here. To some extent I agree with you that any job that has to do with a computer and the internet is at risk. I have trouble getting IT service from down the hall. How do they manage it from Banglore?
No, most H1B workers eventually stay in the US and become permanent residents and citizens.
as an IT guy, I can tell you the quality of work is sh*tty that comes back from India. and the will find every way to over bill the clients for it.
As also a IT person, the outsourced company is most likely system support and not people support. The Indian contract is written exactly to what is covered and they will not do work outside of what's written within the lines of that contract. Anything outside of those lines is forwarded to a much smaller staff that is either still there or a insource company. This is done to create a fixed expense. This is nothing new and numerous other states have done this.Northrop Grumman and IBM have these contracts too and they reoutsourced some (in some cases most) of their contract work also to India.
I thought you guys were loaded out there just tell the state to cough up the money.
I'm not a Californian. I worked for BB who outsourced 1400 people in my section in one weekend a little over a decade ago. I may live in the US, but I work in the Middle East. I would have to take a massive paycut in order to take work in the US.
Looking at the BB I worked for; they posted around $3 Billion profit for 2016. The few US jobs they are offering pay 40% less than they paid in 2004. What Big Business does should not be compared to what Universities do. If Universities don't get enough grant money then they are pretty much SOL.
No No there are not enough workers in that field. That's why we need immigrants. Repeat 10 times and click your heels together.
Name me one industry that claims it has enough qualified workers.
There is no such industry.
Every industry claims to have a "shortage of qualified workers." Because they want more people to try and become qualified, so that they have a larger applicant pool to choose from.
" San Francisco university lays off IT workers, jobs head to India "
Oh, so now they will lower tuition?
Good joke.
