Tech Workers Were Already Hard To Find. The H-1B Visa Suspension Just Made Recruiting Them Even Harder.

[NobleFree]

Another whore to the corporate globalists pretends that the concepts of supply, demand, and market-clearing price don't apply to tech labor (while touting his adjunct professorship in economics).

[Paladin2]

BLM activists don’t know how to code?

Or drive a truck?

[ExSES]

Gee..., they might have to employ US CITIZENS??? The Horror!!!

[Governor Dinwiddie]

BS. Anyone who actually works in the trenches in a tech field knows this is a lie.
 

[Dr. Sivana]

Missing a predicate:

Tech Workers Were Already Hard To Find. [... for what we feel like paying them.]

[DesertRhino]

American culture was already hard to find. The H1B Visa suspension just helped the effort to protect it.

[faithhopecharity]

hire all the out of work American programmers and engineers first

then we can talk about importing more aliens

[gunsequalfreedom]

Just maybe, then...

...there will be students finding it worthwhile to go for their engineering degrees again

...and companies can invest their trillions in those engineering schools.

...and then pay proper wages again.

I get so furious when I hear people say the H1B visa system is good. It is un-American and treasonous for any Member of Congress to vote for it. Corrupt bas$@&#$!

[MichaelRDanger]

Damn it... Those poor globalists will be forced against their will to hire White and Asian Males. Oh... the inhumanity...

[jeffc]

How many U.S. citizens graduate from college each year with a degree in software engineering or computer science?

These businesses who want to pay their employees pennies while they enjoy million dollar salaries and bonuses will not convince me that Americans can't do the job, or that there's not enough of them. They just don't want to pay them what they're worth.

[gunsequalfreedom]

Exactly!

[dsrtsage]

Pehaps, they can hire people over 29

[DesertRhino]

If you fire an American to hire an H1B, you are a traitor.
It has happened to WAY too many Americans. H1B needs to happen under the old rules where you had to prove you could not find a qualified American.

Now you can literally tell them you want to fire American workers and import foreigners, and they allow it.

[The Sons of Liberty]

BLM activists don’t know how to code?

Don't need no steenkin' coding or jobs, Soros and Uncle Sam pay their bills!

[StolarStorm]

Only < 35 tech workers are hard to find. End blatant age discrimination and there are MORE than enough folks. ...and the older ones are more grateful and have gained wisdom (oh, and won’t be out defacing statues)

[Cowboy Bob]

The H-1B has been around for 30 years. Are you telling be that’s not enough to time to train Americans for those jobs?

[CodeToad]

They’re not hard to find, you just can’t offer them Indian wages.

[PGR88]

Yes, because there are NO tech-workers among the 42.5 million Americans recently made unemployed by Government reaction to Covid-19.

/s

Forbes can go to hell.

[CJ Wolf]

Maybe now I can get a job like I once had. Older tech worker. Learned how to code in the 80’s...

[dangus]

Try not stating you’re looking for an entry-level $30K/yr programmer with 30 years’ experience in a programming language that’s only been around for 12 years.
