A leading US newspaper has said, Infosys’ plan to hire 10,000. Americans is less of a cause for celebration than it appears as the need of the hour is a comprehensive H-1B reform than the pledge by the Indian technology giant to create jobs in the US.
Commenting on Infosys’ announcement that it will hire 10,000 Americans in the next two years, an editorial in the New York Times said, the US needs comprehensive reform of the H1-B process more than announcements by companies to create jobs in the country.
It said, only reforms can address the systemic abuses in the visa program that brings in cheaper labor to fill American jobs or replace Americans.
Infosys is one of India’s leading tech outsourcing companies and receives several thousand H-1B visas every year to bring in Indian programmers into the US.
