H1B’s are decimating the IT industry.
H-1B Professional Skilled 136,000
WTH is this? Anyone?
TN Nafta Professionals Skilled 75,000*
Yes, but if an H-1B saves just one American’s job, it will be worth it!
(s) nully, who was displaced by THREE H-1B’s on his last job...
“H-1B Professional Skilled 136,000”
That actually understates the problem.
Many H-1B’s are renewable up to six years.
H-1B’s are also quite often a direct path to a Green Card.
That means the reported visa total goes down, but the worker is still in the USA.
Last year CIS did an analysis of native born Americans who had a science or technology degree.
From memory, 2 million were either unemployed or working in a field not related to their degree.
I personally believe that bringing in all of these foreign IT people is why we have so many vulnerabilities in code. If I am a foreign worker and I leave a back door access, why then I can blackmail when I get back home. It is insidious, but I believe it happens all the time.
