That's what we have H-1B's and L-1's for.
FYI we are still importing 125,000 new legal workers each month.
Yep. It says to me that people really need to develop marketable job skills because the days of landing a job at the local widget factory, putting in your 20 and retiring are over, probably for good. Our gubmint has made it ridiculously difficult to do business in this country and compete globally thanks to excessive taxes and regulation. If this health care boondoggle passes I expect a lot more to move off shore. I still see a lot of companies are hiring engineers and other highly skilled people, though....
well yes and no. They are hiring some highly skilled
people for %20-%30 less (if they have the exact skillset
being sought and aren’t “too old”). There are plenty of
IT people unemployed due to age or undercut by
immigrants/H1Bs/offshoring.
Though they get laid off as well. Few workers now want to work for one company for 20 years regardless.
I don’t. How boring would that be?
I see you aren’t quite up to speed on things are you?
So people with engineering and computer degrees didn’t develop marketable job skills and expect to get a job at the widget factory?
How about me? I sold industrial insurance for 20 years. Guess what, no more industry, no more need for insurance. For decades, MY ‘marketable job skill’ was a very wise career choice.
Maybe you just haven’t read any newspapers lately and don’t quite grasp what is going exactly. At least I can only hope that is the case and you aren’t lost in your little imaginary world.
