I think it means companies can hire engineers from India or Russia who remain in India or Russia for 1/3 of the cost of a US worker.

I should add that during the past few years, companies are returning to the US to manufacture goods (or at least part of the assembly). The supply chain was getting to long and costly (contacts, monitoring workers in China and so forth).

Nope that would be 1/3 less in the US due to special tax waivers, i.e. paying no or very partial income tax.

I don't know about Russia, but in India you can fire for less that some one fully taxed in the US pays in taxes.
