These guys sit on "Conference Board", yet their representative Gad Levanon didn't understand supply and demand?
If companies have to pay out higher wages and better benefits to attract the tight supply market, more Americans would be flocking to the "software developer" field.
Unless Gad Levanon and the group he represents have the intrinsic bias that FOREIGN workers have better training/what-nots than Americans.
I think, business groups like the Conference Board just want foreigners with H1-B visas at their mercy, the businesses can pay them lower wages and dangling the green card applications to keep them on their plantations.

Heres my dumb question:
STEM fields by definition are almost universal in nature. I would think the biggest concern for the U.S. would be the out-migration of STEM industries to foreign countries.
Why would a U.S. employer bother hiring Americans or even H-1B immigrants if its easier and cheaper to do the work in India or the Philippines?

This is a very good thing....
I’ve seen it first hand, American IT workers making really good middle class wages, in the 80-100k per year, living in Florida a low tax state.....get let go but in order to get a severance package have to hang around and train their replacements....most of whom come from India on H1-B visas to get trained and return to India and work for a fraction of what the US worker was making...
We have plenty of IT workers who are as talented as any in the world, but these companies have to pay them a competitive US wage which they can absolutely afford

If President Donald Trump can push his H-1B reforms into 2021, he will dramatically increase the marketplace power of U.S. college graduates. The ANTI-AMERICAN Business Conference Board wants U.S. college graduates to be peons, not TECH innovators and future business leaders.

They don’t.....some do but the major ones don’t....
I’ve seen it first hand, Bank of America and Disney have in the past replaced entire IT staffs with foreign workers who come over on H1-B visas, get trained by the people they are replacing and the return to India making a fraction of what a veteran IT worker makes in the US...

a smaller supply of workers tends to raise wages and salaries.
Billionaires complaining about paying free market wages for American labor. Shocking.

It’s not just salaries.
Another problem is attracting prospective employees to blue states with sky high taxes, lousy schools.
H1B’s tend to be a lot less picky about where and how they live.
Which is great if you’re a blue state trying to keep your big biz from bugging out.

he will dramatically increase the marketplace power of U.S. college graduates, complains a top manager at the Fortune 500 business group the Conference Board. This is a good thing, for American college graduates. Only a free traitor could have a problem with this.

How many high-tech billionaires would there be if their companies had to pay the workers a competitive wage?

I would think the biggest concern for the U.S. would be the out-migration of STEM industries to foreign countries.I would think the biggest concern for US citizens is having gainful employment. Get it?

Why would a U.S. employer bother hiring Americans or even H-1B immigrants if its easier and cheaper to do the work in India or the Philippines? HIPAA laws and Information Security (Financials, Social Security numbers) make offshoring a lot of this work prohibitive.
