According to an article in the September '83 issue of Atlantic Monthly, the data processing industry is following in the footsteps of asbestos, textiles and microprocessors and moving south in search of a workforce happy with low wages and poor working conditions. The article says that "Gary Bechtel, head of a data-processing company in New Jersey ... is moving ahead with his plan to set up a keypunch operation in Jamaica." Does anyone know if this is a new phenomenon or if it's been going on for some time now? Data entry being the sweatshop industry of the 80's, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. -- Prentiss Riddle {ihnp4,ut-ngp}!ut-sally!riddle riddle@ut-sally.UUCP
