Microsoft Staff to Double in India

According to Microsoft officials at a management conference on Saturday, the company plans to increase the staff at its India plant by roughly 1,000 individuals. In fact, Microsoft's largest global technology campus, outside of the United States, is located in India and is approximately 28 acres according to the article.

The article also delves into the size of India's software economy. The software side of the economy is approximately $17.2 billion annually according to the article. The article also stresses that this campus is only part of a $400 million investment initiative by Microsoft in India alone.

I believe that this is going to hurt the tech sector of the United States because these 1,000 jobs are definitely going to come from somewhere, and since our wage rates are considerably higher than the majority of the globe, they will probably come from here.
