A Silicon Valley technology firm flew eight workers 9,000 miles from Bangalore, India to California to install some computers and continued to pay them in rupees.

The eight workers were employed to move computers for Electronics for Imaging Inc from their old headquarters in Foster City to their new building in California.

During the three-month contract, the workers were paid the equivalent of $1.21-an-hour for a 120-hour week.

This is why there are less and less good jobs in the US.

If not underpaid foreign workers, they just fire 3 people, cut one person's pay, and give him the collective jobs of the fired 3.
