...The survey of 677 graduates of Indian Institutes of Technology showed a significant drop in the percentage of Indian citizens who opted to leave the country for higher education or work reasons. Evalueserve, the research and analytics firm that conducted the survey, says among those high-tech workers that graduated between 1964 and 2001, 35 per cent moved to countries other than India. Among those graduating in 2002 and 2007, 84 per cent remained in India and 16 per cent decided to pursue interests elsewhere.

The research also showed that fewer Indian graduates believe other countries such as the United States would provide more opportunities than their nation of origin. Sixty per cent of those graduating between 1964 and 2001 said they thought the United States and other developed countries provided better education and career opportunities. That number dropped among more recent graduates to 51 per cent believing they would have a better chance landing a job if located outside of India.

The research shows that Indians believe they can succeed best in their own country, according to Alok Aggarwal, chairman and founder of Evalueserve and previously with IBM's Thomas Watson Research Center (during which time he helped to build IBM's Research Laboratory at IIT Delhi)...

..."The drop in the number of who believed the US offered a 'better standard of living' has been remarkable, from 13 per cent to almost zero," the report reads....

How long until they realize that they don't have a 'better standard of living'?

so your American bosses can bring the jobs back here to the States, where they belong.

Rather than going through all the trouble of uing the H1B visa and the associated costs, our American companies are putting them to work in their own country...thereby screwing the American worker...
