The median telecom technician in India[1] make $3,406 USD a year, while a US[2] one makes $55,878 USD a year.

It's certainly not a factor of 40, but at 16x it's still quite significant. I'm pretty sure the population density which is 10x higher can factor for the 2.5x remaining.

Interesting. My latest info was an income difference that is far smaller (around factor 2 to 4 in tech jobs). Thanks for the update.
