The H-1B Swindle
An anonymous reader writes "A new study shows that companies hire foreign workers for cheap labor, not skill." From the article:"When you look at computer job titles by state, California has one of the biggest differentials between OES salaries and H-1B salaries. The average salary for a programmer in California is $73,960, according to the OES. The average salary paid to an H-1B visa worker for the same job is $53,387; a difference of $20,573 ... H-1B visa workers were also concentrated at the bottom end of the wage scale, with the majority of H-1B visa workers in the 10-24 percentile range. 'That means the largest concentration of H-1B workers make less than [the] highest 75 percent of the U.S. wage earners,' the report notes. "
White people are an annoying drop on the bottom line to short termist morons in charge of corps. They haven't yet realised that we nasty expensive westerners are the ones that buy their output, but no doubt it'll occur to them eventually.
Does a Christian soccer team even need a goalkeeper?
How's that, exactly?
The current influx of H1B workers came in under Clinton's reign of terror. You just weren't paying attention. The economic fallout we suffered circa 2000 was due to 8 years of politically-motivated economic sabotage, artificial market stimulation (releasing much of our petrolium reserves), and various other nonsense.
