By David Bjerklie

In a twist on the usual reports of U.S. jobs leaving the country, last week Infosys Technologies, India's second largest software maker, said it has begun "aggressive hiring in America" to employ 500 people over the next three years to work for a new U.S. subsidiary, Infosys Consulting. The jobs should make American politicians smile--until they find out that these employees will be advising companies on how to improve efficiency through outsourcing and moving work to India. --By David Bjerklie
