Mumbai Call Center keeps Oregon economy rolling

When America is drowning in huge deficit budget of trillions of dollars no doubt we do not have enough gold coins lying around to pay the salaries of American longshoremen, clerks, and technicians for the day-to-day operations of our East Coast ports managed by our partners on war against terrorism.

These port operators not only hire the Americans for the jobs they are doing around the clock on our shores but also hire the Indians handling our port calls at Mumbai (British called it Bombay) call centers (Oregonian cartoon on Oregonian Page E2 - March 5) in India, America's new global strategic partner and one of the leaders of the world economy for the 21st Century.

These Indian call centers use the latest computers and Internet technology powered by Intel chips that keeps Hillsboro, Oregon prosperous with 17,000 Intel employees and new schools being built or planned in Washington County to pay school teachers to educate their children and grandchildren. Economy is not just a local phenomenon, but the worldwide market conditions which keeps our economy rolling.
