Dear POTUS, pay attention. -Report: Boeing Outsourced American Jobs to $9-an-Hour Foreign Workers Boeing, the second biggest beneficiary of United States Defense Department government contracts, outsourced American software jobs to foreign graduates for $9 an hour, a new report states. A report by The Atlantic this week details how Boeing engineers were taken aback in recent years when software jobs in the U.S. were dished out to foreign workers via an Indian outsourcing firm in order to cut costs: In June, Bloomberg News reported that Boeing’s recent problems with their 737 Max fleet — where the corporation allegedly knew of the issues two years before two fatal crashes occurred — coincided with Boeing executives outsourcing U.S. software jobs to foreign workers through HCL Technologies Ltd. — an India-based outsourcing firm. Bloomberg noted: HCL Technologies Ltd. is one of the largest outsourcers of U.S. jobs — requesting to import more than 2,500 mostly Indian workers this year to take high-paying white-collar jobs from American workers. Every year, more than 100,000 foreign workers are brought to the U.S. on the H-1B visa and are allowed to stay for up to six years. There are about 650,000 H-1B visa foreign workers in the U.S. at any given moment. Americans are often laid off in the process and forced to train their foreign replacements, as highlighted by Breitbart News. More than 85,000 Americans annually potentially lose their jobs to foreign labor through the H-1B visa program. Despite claims by the big business lobby, American workers who have been replaced by H-1B foreign workers say there is no shortage of talented and qualified citizens for high-paying, white-collar jobs. As Breitbart News reported last year, Boeing executives announced their latest manufacturing plant would be outsourced to Bengaluru, India where 3,000 Indian workers will be employed. This comes as Boeing has profited enormously from Defense Department contracts and the 2017 GOP tax cuts. In 2017, for example, Boeing noted that about 79 percent of their profits came from government contracts with the U.S. federal government. Likewise, Boeing saved about $1.1 billion following the GOP tax cuts. This massive tax saving comes after years of already paying relatively low taxes to begin with at an average federal tax rate of less than nine percent over ten years. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/11/21/report-boeing-outsourced-american-jobs-to-9-an-hour-foreign-workers/
