Noslaves.com is devoted to American workers, U.S. employment, labor issues. Trading people through guest worker Visas, offshore outsourcing and manipulation of the immigration system is pure labor arbitrage and that's just wrong.

Silicon Valley 2000-2008 : 20% job loss, 13.5% Depressed Wages

The BLS has issued new report on Silicon valley employment. Bear in mind this report is before this recession.

In 2000 silicon valley had 544,387 techie jobs. By 2004, the California region tech hub had an official drop of 26% to 403,994 high technology jobs.

Now check out the pathetic growth after that. By 2008 the California Bay area had 435,958 technology jobs. That is 20% below the 2000 employment levels.

2002, the year of offshore outsourcing, the area lost 60% of the jobs.

India trying to make H-1B workers cheaper by not paying U.S. social security

This is yet another astounding move by India. They are trying to claim H-1B and L-1 guest workers shouldn't pay social security on some nebulous claims they are not in the U.S. permanently.

The [India] government has been pursuing the social security agreement — that will allow Indians working under short-term contracts in the US to secure exemption from contributing to the American social security system.

While Americans Go Without Jobs, India's Offshore Outsourcing Business is Booming

While Americans go without jobs, India's offshore outsourcing business is booming. In Technology companies are aggressively hiring as business prospects improve, we can see just how many American companies are creating jobs....in India.

Accenture will add 8,000 in India this year alone. That’s a 20% increase. Honeywell will also add 1,000 jobs....again, not in the United States, but in India.

Did you know it's Slavery Prevention Month?

How many even know it was Human Trafficking Prevention Month?

Well, it is and a story on H-1B being used as a human trafficking tool is how I even became aware of it.

A case that brought human trafficking to light in the Bay Area was the case of Lakireddy Bali Reddy, a Berkeley landlord convicted in 2001 for immigration fraud and trafficking minors for illegal sexual activity.

Did you know offshore outsourcing is now called "virtual immigration"?

If you would like to read a disgusting report, check out the Dallas Fed. Literally they are calling offshore outsourcing virtual immigration.

The report shows that offshore outsourcing of our jobs just continued while there has been some minor relief on guest workers (which the Dallas Fed claims are just foreign born workers) a tad while the unemployment rate is in double digits.

Ohio Governor Giving Tax Breaks to Notorious Outsoucer TATA

This is the most absurd and outrageous story. Ohio Governor Ted Strikland is giving $19 million in tax credits to TATA Consultancy Services, the notorious Indian H-1B user and offshore outsourcer.

Ohio Governor Ted Strickland is quick to admit that he doesn’t “particularly enjoy heights.” So why would he climb into a cherry picker to be lifted 40 feet in the air?

Here We Go Again - Destroying U.S. STEM under the Guise of "Immigration Reform"

Once again we have a job killing, let's wipe out all U.S. Science, Technology, Mathematics and Engineering Professionals agenda parading around as Comprehensive Immigration Reform.

First the bill title is (so you know what to say when you call your representatives repeatedly and demand they defeat this bill):

The Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America's Security and Prosperity Act of 2009, or CIR ASAP. It is sponsored by the notorious illegal immigrant and corporate Representative, Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.).

Programmers Guild response to the guy who calls us "Xenophobes Who Need To Go Back Into Their Caves"

On December 5, 2009 Vivek Wadhwa posted "The Startup Visa And Why The Xenophobes Need To Go Back Into Their Caves" 

The new “Startup visa” is sketched out here: http://startupvisa.com/about/ .

Vivek claims that this Startup visa "is about creating American jobs and moving innovation here which would otherwise happen in other countries. We can boost the economy without any cost to taxpayers. It’s not about admitting H-1B visa holders who sometimes make Americans compete for high-paying jobs, but bringing in entrepreneurs who expand the pie for everyone."
 
Vivek believes that everyone should see the benefit of his idea - and those who don't are "xenophobes": “I was convinced that my last BusinessWeek column on the Startup visa presented such a compelling argument that even these poor souls [aka American tech workers] would support it.”
