Cognizant Says U.S. Needs More Visas for Foreign Tech Workers

Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp., a provider of technology consulting and outsourcing services, said the U.S. needs to grant more visas to skilled technology workers from India and China.

Finding enough skilled American workers is “a real issue,” said Cognizant Chief Executive Officer Francisco D’Souza in an interview with Bloomberg Television. “Businesses around the world are becoming more tech intensive and for them to stay on the leading edge competitively, they need the talent.”
