Indian IT contributes immensely |
The debate in the US over H-1B visas has become a political and emotive issue as there is a “yawning gap” between the facts and perception, IT industry body NASSCOM has said, contending that Indian IT firms contribute immensely to the US economy and jobs creation. NASSCOM president R Chandrashekhar said this narrative has been going on for a while now that Indian IT workers come to the US and that they take away jobs, that in general they simply displace American workers and that these are low-paid, not even necessarily high-skilled people who are actually taking away jobs from better paid and skilled American workers. Chandrashekhar lead a delegation of IT industry to engage with members of the new US administration on issues like clampdown on work visas and flow of skilled manpower between the two nations.He claimed the data, not just Indian data, but the US government`s own data also tells a very, very different story.
