Vice President Mike Pence joined Gov. Eric Holcomb and officials from tech firm Infosys for a major high-tech jobs announcement Thursday.

Infosys, a global leader in consulting, technology and next-generation services, announced it will establish its U.S. Education Center in Indianapolis to train American workers and arm them with skills for the digital future. The company also announced that it has expanded its hiring plans for Indiana from 2,000 to 3,000 new jobs by the end of 2023.

Holcomb described the jobs as high-paying and said they would be in the technology field.

Infosys will provide an initial investment of $35 million to create the first 125,000 sq. ft. of development to transform the 70.5-acre site at the old Indianapolis airport terminal into its U.S. Education Center. The tech company will break ground on this initial phase before the end of 2018 and anticipates its completion by the end of 2020. The initial phase will comprise of a training center and will accommodate a 250-person residential facility.

Our media partners at the IndyStar reported that Infosys agreed to terms Monday with the Indianapolis Airport Authority, the city and the Indiana Economic Development Corporation. City and state development incentives are folded into the deal, the newspaper reported.

The Vice-President of the United States comes to Indianapolis, and with the Governor of the state, announces 1,000 new well-paying jobs.

The Local NBC affiliate, WTHR, DOES NOT EVEN MENTION IT, and has no story about it on their website.

Wow.... Such times that we live in now. 20 years ago, could you have even imagined the press would be so completely biased??

RE: Infosys

Isn’t Infosys an Indian company?

Only AMERICAN labor!

That absolutely should be part of the deal.

Enough H1B’s already.

Yes, Indian company.

If Trump is not re-elected in 2020 they’ll go back to the old model and pull the plug on this.

I could see they were in danger of digressing to this point, but few would have believed me if I predicted this.

Honestly, I didn’t ever think it could be this bad.

It’s shocking. (and pure evil)

Workers at Pravda were forced to do what today’s Leftists do by choice in the United States.

Infosys is 100% Indian out of Bangalore and they hate Americans, or at least they did back when I had to test their bad code back in 2010 at State Street Corp. Bad news for US born STEM professionals. Hope i’m wrong.

If it’s Infosys then you can bet that most of those jobs will be H-1Bs.

I don’t know.

It could be America is used generically in this case. Such as “workers in America”.

Sounds like it, to me.

I declined a job in Indy a few years back. Too many H1Bs. I felt I was just being offered to have a local face for customers.

And also takes a job from a U.S. citizen.

You are assuming that. You have no evidence presented except conjecture.

So you would prefer the work be outsourced to India instead? If the job is on US soil, the employee pays federal, state & sales taxes. And buys food & housing & other retail items in American stores. That is a significant benefit to local economy.

This is so simple to understand, I am shocked the economics goes right over your head.
