You seem to be talking about call centre staff and the like. I am talking about computer science graduates who are professional programmers.
There is much to disagree with this, although I do not have the objective scientific evidence firsthand. Outsourced programming seems to have been a travesty in the USA, for example. But I can only say that the "degrees" awarded in India are not the same as the "degrees" awarded in the USA. It has been argued that many resume's will cite Indian Universities that don't really exist, but turn out to be H1-B visa shops. It's like the learning of a language in 10 days kind of nonsense.
And let's not get into the documentation....
But how can the capitalists in the USA turn down workers willing to put in 80-hour work weeks for USA minimum wage? They come over and sleep 10-20 to the apartment and send their minimum wage money home where it is Big Upper Middle Class Money.
Perhaps the UK has a better way of screening the applicants.
We actually have programming jobs advertised here for No Money! And people take them!!
