Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

TWICE THE JOBS AT HALF THE SALARY ?

4 Oct 2010

TWICE THE JOBS AT HALF THE SALARY ?
  
Earlier in 2010, State Bank of India ( SBI ) advertised for 27,000 clerical job vacancies.

Some 2,800,000 candidates appeared for a written exam.

Amongst those who got selected were 4,000 graduate / post-graduate engineers.

Not surprising considering that India produces 500,000 engineering graduates every year [ including 150,000 software engineers ].

Their median starting salary would be approx. $ 1 per hour – about the same what I pay 2 software engineers who are developing my website for past one year.

Should SBI have created 54,000 jobs by paying $ 0.50 per hour ?

Ask any of the 38 million jobless Indian graduates who have registered at 900 + State Employment Exchanges.

The last registered must wait 126 years to get his job-offer !

With regards
