There are many "training" institutes in places like Edison, where they train you in practically any IT skill for 3 months, fake your resume and get 3-4 other Indians as a reference. Many of these employees are brought to the US before there is an actual job at a client site. Then they are trained. Many are US college grads, who face going back home empty handed unless they get a H1 visa. Or they end up in Dunkin Donuts. This is probably the biggest reason why their salaries are low. Because the H1 sponsor has propped up the employee, it is skimming their wages, and can exploit them in other ways, like no holidays, dodgy insurance etc. Check out some of the training ads here: http://us.classifieds.sulekha.com/ http://us.classifieds.sulekha.com/
