  • reluctant acceptance, and outsourcing to India has
  • become such a part of our culture that it inspire
  • In a move that signifies one of the quirkier things happening to the global economy, outsourcing companies in India (where more than a third of the country lives on $1.25 a day) are starting to open centers and hire employees in the
  • U.S. (where minimum wage is $7.25 an hour).
  • Salaries are rising 10% a year in India, so labor isn’t as cheap as it used to be.“Near-sourcing” saves these firms the travel expenses of flying workers from India to the U.S. to meet their clients.They gain efficiency by preventing mistakes that occur due to unfamiliarity with American culture.The companies can access new markets, such as healthcare companies, government agencies, utility companies and defense contractors that don’t want sensitive data leaving the U.S.Having bases around the world means they can do work around the clock.

The firms are supplying good jobs now, and plan to expand their U.S. outposts, creating even more opportunities in the future
