With all due respect, Did you actually read the article? It is very informative and might change your POV.
Your anecdotal experiences are not necessarily representative of all work places. In fact, I have anecdotal experiences that reflect the opposite in terms of talent and ability.
And look at what happened recently with BOEING...cheapout on foreign coders paying them $9/hour and you get bad code thta contributed to the safety issues...Ironic because they could have used top grad students at Univ. of Chicago, UIC, or UofI since BOEING is headquartered in Chicago area.
So you have the 411 on what US graduates want to do with their tech degrees? Please provide some data...I have 3 that don’t design web pages or phone apps and their wages have been tamped down by the indentured H-1B/green card system.
Interesting that basically your argument that Indian tech workers will do the work US tech workers won’t...is the SAME argument that was and IS being used to justify ALLOWING ILLEGALS (AND LEGALS) to flood in from our southern borders...
No one is saying foreign workers are not nice people; Same can be said about the migrants too. However, the Indian workforce (which is unlimited) have kept It salaries down, and we are incentivising the indentured workforce culture with expanding these programs.
Between 30% of South America coming here, AI, and an unlimited supply of cheap Asian labor, I truly worry about how US Tech professionals are supposed to make a living in the future...How do they pay off their loans with low-paying jobs?
If you beg to differ, simply don’t make the calls, but you won’t convince me (or many here) that this legislation is Making America Great in any way....It is NOT a good idea.
There’s one Canadian on Disqus.com, who goes by the handle of ‘Mark.’
Mark looked at US Berkeley’s job placement numbers for STEM. He thought 30 percent of those recent graduates where not employed.
Mark also noticed quite a few heading to graduate school. How many of those graduate students stayed in school, since there’s no work?
A separate but similar problem is caused by the fact that our public high schools no longer provide much in the way of non-college technical education. Thus we are lacking plumbers, electricians, stone and tile worker, skilled construction workers, carpenters, etc. I see a lot of these jobs being filled by Latino immigrants or illegals, and blacks living in the same cities complaining they are unemployed.
