Thanks for that news, Bit!
Really like it when you share your findings here.
Here is one that will make your blood boil:
Banks Sought Foreign Workers - OK, it's an AP report, but has actual facts in it...;-))
"SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) Major U.S. banks sought government permission to bring thousands of foreign workers into the country for high-paying jobs even as the system was melting down last year and Americans were getting laid off, according to an Associated Press review of visa applications.
"The dozen banks now receiving the biggest rescue packages, totaling more than $150 billion, requested visas for more than 21,800 foreign workers over the past six years for positions that included senior vice presidents, corporate lawyers, junior investment analysts and human resources specialists. The average annual salary for those jobs was $90,721, nearly twice the median income for all American households."
So, while "American" banks were taking U.S. taxpayer dollars, they were laying off Americans and replacing them with H-1b's to the tune of an average $90,000 each...this is why unions get footholds in industries...and this is also a total abuse of the intent of H-1b...;-))
