US Chamber Of Commerce States India Is Not Taking Away Jobs From Americans


In one of the greatest debates which are going on in the US regarding the jobs to Indians and Chinese, the US Chamber of Commerce has stated that India is for sure not taking away the jobs from the American citizens. Another claim by the US is that the Indian companies acquire most of the H-1B visas and thus are able to take away most the jobs from the American’s.

Now the US Chamber of Commerce, which is the worlds largest commerce chamber, as it contains more than three million members, stated that the claim stated on India that they are stealing away the jobs is clearly a hyperbole. And it said that this is not the truth against the Indian companies.

The fact is that the Indian companies do not in fact provide green cards to all of its employees. The figures of the H-1B visas are such that they literally disqualify the claims of the people. The shocking fact is that the Indian companies had issued only 4809 H-1B visas to its employees, that is almost 0.003% of the whole US civilian work force. And the worse part is that between the year 2006 to 2009 there is about 70% decline in the issue of H-1B visas to Indians.
