How do you determine the "correct" location of a job?

My employer sells software internationally - are you claiming any international job should be subject to some sort of fine simply because the company is HQed in the US?

I suppose we could try slicing revenue or profit by sales region and comparing against headcount expense per region? But with salaries abroad being a fraction of in the US, that math might still work out in favor of keeping international employees.

EDIT - I dislike the H1B system overall. Just not sure "fine companies that operate overseas" is something we should consider as a replacement.
