So libs, how many of those Central American illegal border crossers are engineers?
I find a shortage of engineering jobs.
STEM workers are generally treated like dirt and put into cookbook production types of environments. The Engineering Factory. Crank out the widgets.
Well, they do, unless you make it a point to bring in H1Bs by the thousands.
If you want to be poor, become an engineer. If you want to have a decent life, get an engineering degree and go into finance.
What we really need is fewer lawyers, and fewer politicians.
There’s a great shortage of STEM workers in this country—a shortage of those who will accept third-world wages. Supposedly we, as a country, pivoted away from factory work to focus on “higher paying” jobs like engineering, only to instead pay these engineers “factory worker” wages. It’s a scam.
Senator Jeff Sessions recently said : "The tech industry’s promotion of expanded temporary visas (such as the H-1B) and green cards is driven by a desire for cheap, young and immobile labor. It is well documented that loopholes enable firms to legally pay H-1Bs below their market value and to continue the widespread age discrimination acknowledged by many in the tech industry" ...
PAY them Less and REPLACE older citizen employees with these special visa workers ...
FIXED!
CEO's of tech companies are making a factor of a thousand times as much money as their engineers, researchers and technical designers. Does a board of directors really think the company is better off with one Wall Street guy than a thousand engineers?
The push for H1B visas is about nothing more or less than creating millions of new cubicle slaves, both foreign [because they can't go anywhere else] and domestic [because if they squawk, they'll be replaced by cut-rate third-worlders.] H1B is a lose-lose proposition for everyone but the fattest of the fat cats.
The “engineer shortage” is a code for more H1B visas. Of course this is bogus. Domestic engineers need more pay.
An increase in labor supply means a decrease in wages. Letting foreign works depress the wage rate means less students seek engineering as a career.
We are eating our education seed corn for the likes of Microsoft, Motorola and Oracle.
employers pad a job lising with so much required - so many different programs, and then so much time in each, that makes it impossible for one prson to have all that, so then they can go h1b. the requirements then change.
I have trouble believe “a”, “an” and “the” from him.
