Small Towns in India to Create 10 Million Jobs by 2020

A recent news release in the Times of India reported that the IT industry will create over 10 million jobs in rural and small towns (Considering the population of India, I’m sure small towns have substantial populations as well). This is quite amazing and empowering to those people, but couldn’t our politicians think of ways to keep some of that in our country? After doing some snooping around I came across this site http://www.ruralsource.com/ which I found quite interesting. It is the same principal. If we decide to outsource jobs to other countries because it has become too expensive to do business in out major cities, why don’t we just source the jobs to smaller towns in the US. The standard of living would not be as high as say San Francisco or New York, but we compensate accordingly to the standard of living in those communities. If you speak to anyone living in a major city, almost 25-35% of their salary goes to living expenses.
I feel we just need to restrategize and come up with he next industrial revolution for our small towns that have been devastated by factory closures. Let’s stop thinking like dinosaurs.
