Bill Gates whitewashing media about outsourcing jobs to India, China?
Should we believe in sound bites from likes of Intel's Craig Barret and Microsoft’s Bill Gates when they come out with reasons like lack of engineers in USA behind outsourcing jobs to countries like India, China and Philippines?

If you go by Duke University’s latest engineering study you will surprisingly realize that the heavyweights just may be whitewashing media and people by uttering reasons like non-availability of talents and may be camouflaging real issues.

Eighty percent of the respondents (senior executives of American corporations) in the survey have stated that U.S engineering jobs were filled with four months of the advertisement. The rate has remained stagnant for last 3-5 years. Amongst the new recruits, however, 85% were not offered any signing bonus.

My God this person Krissy is MAD / CRAZY / foolish.... look at his remarks on Bill Gates. Krissy this man is 1000000000000 time more talented than you, so STOP talking about him.

Gist of my earlier post:

Biil Gates said said therr are lack of engineers in USA so Microsoft sends enginerring jobs to other countries.


Duke University study checks out that there is no shortage of engineers. The survey found out that eighty percent of the respondents to its questionnaire reported that their U.S. engineering jobs were filled within four months, and that offer-acceptance rates have stayed constant or increased over the past three to five years.

So, the issue is different than what people are asked to believe.

I hope that concludes the purpose of my post.
