RE: Offshoring: San Jose Mercury News article

Ms. Henderson was probably referring to the company's *cost* for employing
the workers, as opposed to their actual wages. Cost is the relevant number
-- for example, two workers with the same wages in adjoining U.S. states can
cost the company widely differing amounts.

"Kaiser Vice President Mary Henderson acknowledged the company has
transferred
about 200 information-technology jobs to Indian companies, paying between
$25
and $30 an hour instead of $80 to $100 an hour in the United States."

   Wow. $25 to $30 US per hour is an acceptable wage here in Canada. So much
for
   the arguments of exploiting third world workers...
