Yet another story where some company using cheap labor, over billing the government, yet only has a PO Box as an address, somehow manages to get a government contract.

New York Daily News:

Future Technology Associates has held a no-bid contract from the DOE for the past four years to integrate the school system's financial management software with that of other city agencies.

Under the contract, the company, which seems to have no other clients, received more than $15.7 million from the school system in fiscal year 2009.

Since it began its work for DOE, Future Technology Associates has filed 19 applications with the U.S. Department of Labor for permission to hire foreign workers under temporary H-1B visas.

On those applications, it claimed to be paying those employees from $45,000 to $80,000, with the average at $65,000.

Those salaries represent about one-fourth what FTA charged the city for those workers.

With the unemployment rate what it is, why are companies using H-1B even allowed to get any government contract?
