> "distort" the local labor markets makes 0 sense. I dont want to seem to defend Facebook or the company mentioned in the article. However there are unintended consequences when the labor market is abruptly distorted by foreign companies. When the first outsourced English speaking call centers opened in my city, they paid more than the average for English speakers. The foreign call centers paid about 50% more than the average salary for English speakers. So many English teachers left their jobs and joined the call centers, including some of my teachers in high school. So we were left some months without much to do at school or with definitely underqualified temporary teachers who spoke English worse than we did. I think about 40% of our school-year was affected for this. The next school year, the school had to increase tuition, and hired new teachers with higher salaries. On one hand teachers salaries increased, but also school became more expensive for my parents to pay while my faimily's income remained the same. |
