Because it's another piece of propaganda desigened to pressure congress to raise the H1B limit so corporations can hire cheaper Indian and Chinese engineers instead of Americans.

You mean the Americans we're not graduating, and the Indian and Chinese we are . . . who then return to their home countries? That doesn't sound like good public policy.

Disclaimer: I know nothing about about the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago.
