Data from the Federal Reserve shows that among recent college graduates, the unemployment rates for majors once heralded as tickets to high-salary, high-status jobs like computer engineering and computer science were 7.5% and 6.1%, respectively. In contrast, construction services majors’ unemployment rate was just 0.7%.

Well, employment of Indian H1B’s likely accounts for much of that high unemployment rate. Perhaps H1B hiring can be expanded more into the construction trades to get that unemployment rate up?

H1Bs are counter productive to fixing a lack of trained workers. The proper response is for industry to train Americans.
“They’ll complete a five-year paid apprenticeship to graduate as journeymen...”
H1Bs reduce wages and available positions. Thus reducing interest of American citizens in pursuing that work.
Strip mining needed talent from foreign countries is also bad for those countries.
Bingo!
Trump need to better address the H1B issue.
