Hahahahahahahaaa… BULLSHIT.
There are PLENTY of workers out there, there just aren’t many willing to work for sub-poverty wages.
If your business relies on H1B workers in order to exist, then you either have an abysmally shitty business plan, or you’re pulling too much out of the company for your own benefit.
Yep, 100% this. I was in IT during the dot-com bubble burst, and unfortunately, things like H-1B caps are not lowered to accommodate the realities of the job market - or at least not nearly soon enough. And bastard companies were claiming they still needed H-1Bs in the huge downturn where hundreds would apply for the most shitty of low-level web coding jobs. No, they needed that to boost their quarterly earnings and funnel more money to mahogany row instead of paying market rates for the work.
I would think right about now that we need about ZERO H-1Bs in America's IT market given the way things are. If there really is some crazy niche thing that requires some truly rare talent, okay, sure. But bringing tens of thousands in only to do the same kinds of things people here can do and many of them are jobless? No, fuck that.
How do you feel about people who, as foreign students, have just completed a 4-year degree at an American university and need an H-1B to get a job in and remain in the USA?
You will likely need to work for a company that can have you remote or in another office that's outside the US...
