Nor are a majority programers. They have moved into every facet of manufacturing, semiconductor processing, biotech, energy, and elsewhere.
Employers love 'em. They work for significantly less than their American counterparts (Yeah, I know the law requires they be paid the prevailing wage. Guess who sets the prevailing wage.) They live in mortal terror that they will lose their job and be sent back to whatever 3rd word cesspit they hale from, and therefore can easily be abused both on a personal level and on a business level. They can be fired and deported if they even look for a better job. What's not to love?
Sidebar, one H-1B I worked with was deported the day after he got laid off. They shipped him of back to the Ayatollah's Iran. No one has heard from him since. No one.On my last paid job I was replaced by three H-1Bs. One Chinese, one Vietnamese, and one Indian. The Indian and the Vietnamese are still there. The employer is challenging to work for. I doubt anyone who could find other employment would have lasted as long.
If you are still under 50, try to switch to a line of work which is in demand. I am now retired and do not have a list of currently in demand professions. During my working years Numerical control programmers were highly sought after. Not sure if they still are. High tech manufacturing companies such as Boeing need them by the hundreds.
