Is this a taste of the future? Outsourcing goes full circle as Indian firms look to the U.S. for cheap labour
Large corporations that have boomed in India amid the country's nimble economy have been drawn to the U.S. where unemployment has soared.
Struggling residents desperate for work are paid between $12 and $14 a hour to be stationed in tiny cubicles for long shifts of telesales work.
