| Description | MEXICO CITY: Ross Perot, the Texas billionaire and one-time U.S. presidential candidate, railed against the North American Free Trade Agreement in the early 1990s, arguing that it would create a "giant sucking sound" of good American jobs pulled to low-wage Mexico.
Last week, Perot Systems, based in Plano, Texas, announced that it was hiring - in Mexico.
Perot Systems, which manages information technology for companies, is setting up a technology center in Guadalajara, where it expects to employ 270 engineers by the middle of next year.
Neither Perot, who is now chairman emeritus of the company, which he founded in 1988, nor his son, Ross Perot Jr., the company's chairman, was on hand for the announcement in Guadalajara on Thursday. But a company spokesman, Joe McNamara, said that lower pay for engineers was only one of several reasons Perot Systems had decided to set up in Mexico. |
