Worked over Job exporters seen constraining U.S. recovery

The computer-services company recently bought India-based Vision Healthsource, described as a leading claims and billing processor for U.S. health-care providers. While Perot officials said no job cuts resulted, the new 500-employee subsidiary competes with U.S. firms, putting American jobs at risk.
