What do you think will be the scope, headcounts, etc. I personally think that it'll turn out to be bigger, in every sense, than most of us are expecting and I really do not see them having any bets as it relates to major technology investment in the USA. All of this is happening while most of large companies are reexamining use of H1Bs and offshore workforce. I honestly think that the USA should make a major push to onshore as much as possible as we saw what 2 decades of globalization and sending both manufacturing and service jobs overseas has brought. I do not like it and while it may fill pockets of execs and an occasional shareholder, it does damage to us as a society as well as a sovereign country.

@a1 If you need to understand why, look at the hiring managers.
If it's like all the other retailers offshore offices there will be like 10x the number of employees and they'll get half as much done.
@a1 What does KCC have to do with H-1B visas? Offshoring and hiring H-1B workers in the US are two completely different things. America is a country built by immigrants, and many H-1B workers are simply trying to make a living and raise their kids here, just like everyone else.

@a1 you can find them but are budgets to pay people are so small only H1Bs will accept our low ball offers
What will KCC will mean for GO/GM jobs? anyone?
there is about 1000 or 2000 jobs that were given to visa holders by us.

the summary number is off but if you go to pagination you'll see that there are many pages with long listings there.
these are actuals, roles that were filled by foreigners.
I just cannot wrap my mind around the fact that we cannot find a Java developer or Data Eng here in the USA. My wife's company had a data eng role posted a few weeks back, they got 800 applicants, she works for an aerospace company and you have to be a citizen... 800 us citizens applied.... offshoring and visas, give me a break.
