AT&T CEO says hard to find skilled U.S. workers
"The head of the top U.S. phone company AT&T Inc (T.N) said on Wednesday it was having trouble finding enough skilled workers to fill all the 5,000 customer service jobs it promised to return to the United States from India.
"We're having trouble finding the numbers that we need with the skills that are required to do these jobs," AT&T Chief Executive Randall Stephenson told a business group in San Antonio, where the company's headquarters is located.
So far, only around 1,400 jobs have been returned to the United States of 5,000, a target it set in 2006, the company said, adding that it maintains the target."
Ignoring the minor detail that there's more than likely a pool of talent that was laid off when they originally outsourced the jobs in the first place, I wonder if two of the skillsets they're looking for is "must be non- or anti-union" and "must be willing to work cheaply"
