    To the poster (nunez?) who was lamenting about me apparently claiming blue collar jobs are easier (and then deleted it when I was writing this reply): 1. I didn't claim that. 2. Ye…

    That won't work as well as you think it does. This would come off as them being skilled enough to do the work in half the time an American would. That said, consulting companies ou…

    I'm sure it's ok to give out specifics of something that happened 12 years ago, what makes you think this sort of stuff is still happening?

    Do you have examples of these? they'd be easy targets to be sued for breaking the labor laws.
