The “A” In “AT&T” Doesn’t Mean “American” Anymore March 27, 2008

Reuters, about the claim by the CEO of AT&T that it’s hard to find skilled American workers to fill positions that will no longer be outsourced:
Gone are the days when AT&T and other U.S. companies had to hire locally, he said.
“We’re able to do new product engineering in Bangalore as easily as we’re able to do it in Austin, Texas,” he said, referring to the Indian city where many international companies have “outsourced” technical and customer support workers.
“I know you don’t like hearing that, but that’s the way it is,” he said.
I think the angle here is that, even though these jobs will return to America, UNT&T wants to import H-1-B visa holders to fill those jobs, because they can’t find skilled Americans that will work cheaply enough.
