Seattle Times, key paragraph, second of two:
Airbus plans to hire 1,000 people in India this year out of 13,000 globally. Boeing and its suppliers, which already employ about 18,000 workers in the nation, have been growing by 1,500 employees every year, the U.S. jet manufacturer’s India head Salil Gupte told Bloomberg News in an interview.
With about 1.5 million engineering students graduating annually, India is a rich source of talent for planemakers facing record orders from airlines as travel rebounds after the COVID-19 pandemic. Boeing can hire an engineer in Bengaluru, India’s southern tech hub, for 7% of the cost of a similar role in Seattle, according to salary data compiler Glassdoor.
Seven percent of what they'd have to pay similarly skilled U. Wash. engineering graduate. Ouch! Son/Daughter, pick another major. The U.S. Boeing engineering market looks now to be for those with corporate or political family connections, or expect some lesser sized job opportunity. There always are some jobs for a capable, connected, young person. A corporation large enough can absorb one or several that way, but seven percent, and feed 'em rice, globalization beckons.
