These talented workers stay in their country and telecommute to jobs in the U.S. — and they're coming for your white-collar job
Hathersage Technologies is a California company that builds online information solutions for American companies for relatively low prices. The secret is to use a lot of foreign workers. Not foreign workers sitting in California, but workers who telecommute to California from abroad. Think of these as 21st century migrants — telemigrants — who are competing for American white-collar and professional jobs without ever setting foot in the U.S.
This, in my view, is the biggest development in globalization since container ships. With great, free machine translation on laptops, tablets and smartphones, anyone with an internet connection and skills can telemigrate to the advance economies. Chinese universities alone graduate eight million students a year, and many of them are underemployed and underpaid in China. Now that they all can speak “good enough” English, special people in the advanced economies will find themselves less special.
