FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SAN JOSE, Calif. — June 10, 2008 – VentureOutsource.com, announced today it presented Democratic and Republican 2008 U.S. presidential nominees Senator Barack Obama (D-Illinois) and Senator John McCain, (R-Arizona) questions on outsourcing, immigration, and H1-B visas as part of the Company’s Industry Interviews.
VentureOutsource.com, an authoritative resource for outsourcing and offshoring, attracts influential decision-making readers in technology product companies, and suppliers and vendors to these companies, with responsibilities in corporate strategy, global sourcing, vendor selection and worldwide operations.
The Company presented three identical questions to the leading presidential primary party nominees with a response-request-date from each party’s campaign of July 17, 2008. Questions have also been posted simultaneously online at www.ventureoutsource.com.
“We’re excited about this opportunity and committed to accurately posting all commentary from Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain. VentureOutsource.com is a leading and trustworthy online resource for companies, many with hundreds of thousands of employees, helping them to mitigate business risk and further inform themselves on topics of great importance to the technology industry,” said Mark Zetter, VentureOutsource.com Founder and President .
Interview questions presented
1.) In the first-half of 2008, Microsoft founder Bill Gates said, before a U.S. Congressional panel, “…many US firms, including Microsoft, have been forced to locate staff in countries that welcome skilled foreign workers to do work that could otherwise have been done in the United States, if it were not for our counterproductive immigration policies.” Mr. Gates stated limits on H-1B visas aimed at highly skilled professionals are too low for the rapidly growing U.S. technology sector. What thoughts do you have on reviewing current immigration policy regarding H-1B visas aimed at highly skilled professionals?
2.) Please describe one (1) outcome you could see happening to the talent pool for manufacturing in the United States if ‘tougher’ U.S. immigration enforcement was in place?
3.) U.S. Chamber of Commerce president and CEO, Tom Donohue, in a previous VentureOutsource.com interview, said, “Critics of outsourcing often overlook the benefits, such as the creation of jobs by foreign firms that open operations in the United States. No other society in the world has benefited more from the migration of money, people, and jobs than the United States. The fact of the matter is we insource at least $50 billion more in service work than we outsource. The jobs we gain in the U.S. far outnumber the amount of jobs we outsource.” What are some of your thoughts regarding Mr. Donohue’s comments?
