high-tech industry
The United States filed a complaint Wednesday with the World Trade Organization over European tariffs on three categories of high-tech goods, including flat-panel computer monitors and some printers.

Faced with a difficulty finding skilled employees, one of India's leading outsourcing companies is going out to find prospective workers -- on a bus.
Firstsource Solutions Ltd.'s orange-and-white recruitment bus has been touring Mumbai, India's financial capital, over the last few days inviting potential workers to "Step in to step ahead."
While the bus may be a recruitment gimmick, it shows the lengths India's outsourcing companies -- which have been leading India's economic boom -- have to go as the industry grapples with a serious shortage of skilled labor.
