The minimum should be about 20% above the US average for the degree type and years of experience.

No. Why?

1. The "can overwork them to meet unreasonable schedules" premium is worth far more than 20%; and

2. The "I'm Indian / Chinese and will hire only Indian / Chinese, whee!!" premium is worth far more than 20%.

Just stop the whole damn system. No "tinkering". No "reform" (with plenty of loopholes.

Just end H-1B, OPT, Green Cards, H2, you name it, just end it.

It's high time America becomes for Americans again!
