So, folks like Zuckerberg and B Gates make tons of money and have great success in the USA, but then insist there aren't qualified local US workers to be found. But interestingly there are tons of talented fully qualified people to be found in low wage countries such as India, the Philippines, etc (forget higher wage Japan or Western Europe). And all the while, layoffs and outsourcing occur, wages stagnate, and companies are offering fewer and fewer training opportunities. Today they want workers who can hit the ground running with NO training at all.
Is there something wrong with this picture? Isn't it most likely the corps are just wanting to maximize profits by lowering labor costs?
