Want a Job? Ooops.. too Late... India already took it..

The U.S. and Europe have found themselves frustrated by the increasing numbers of jobs being outsourced to India. Some states in the U.S. are considering bills that will prevent suppliers from using foreign workers in an attempt to prevent jobs from going off-shore and provide American workers with job opportunites.

India is the No. 1 destination for a growing number of American industries. Offering cheap labor, English-skills, and willingness to work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, makes Indians more desirable. India has a comparative advantage over China, whose workforce is not as well-rehearsed in English.

India's response to all of this? "It is in the interest of the Wester world to know that we are cheaper and better," said Yashwant Sinha, India's external affiars minister. "It is our strength. The world has to recognize it and realize it." Sinha is backed up by Indian Prime Minister atal Bihari Vajpayee, who said at a business summit of the European Union in December of 2003 that "if people cannot go to where the business is, business will eventually come to where the people are."
