Then why are we still handing out HI-B visa’s like candy?
But we need to give amnesty to the illegals and import more low cost foreigners!
Nobody says STEM but government liberal weenies.
Actual working people say science, technology, engineering, and mathematics workers.
How many of them started as programmers or engineers and got into technical management or technical sales? That is where you can make real money.
what is the H1B visa game actually about
it is NOT about a general shortage of workers in certain categories
as much as it is about specific employers NOT wanting to look for a qualified candidate already able to work legally in the U.S. in a particular category but the employer already having chosen a foreign resident they want to import to the U.S. for a job, a job for which there is in most cases - as the CIS STEM report shows - someone already in the U.S. and qualified for
Often visas in engineering and research are tied to ONE particular employer —this gives that entity ENORMOUS influence over the visa holder.
They can “suggest” that you do overtime, they can “suggest” that requests for vacation are unwelcome, they can “suggest” that current pay is adequate or even excessive.
They WILL get compliance.
There is NO SHORTAGE of STEM workers in the USA, there is only a preference to never be sued and never be questioned —EVAR.
But the jobless rate dipped a bit, so everything’s looking up (even though my bartender holds a Phd in Chemistry)...

The “S” has become quite bastardized by the laeft and academics. Science is anything for which you can get a government grant. Political “Science.” “Psuedoscience” “Paramormal researcher” And hilariously misnamed “climate scientist.”
