I don't know any unemployed US citizens in IT... they're rarely on the market given how tight it is.

Oh BS.

As for wages? Jeez developers in the 1990s made the same and that is not adjusted for inflation!!!

H-1B must end so traitors like this imposter are put out of business!!!

I would have no problem getting another job, but might have to move as I am in the armpit of the rustbelt. Get emails from recruiters regularly.

I was a developer in the 90's. They're not making the same, they're making a lot more.

I hire dozens a year, and actually understand the market.

According to the Stack Overflow 2020 Developer Survey, developers and software engineers in the United States are making more than double what they made in the 90s (not adjusted for inflation). Personally, I'm making about 125% more than I made in 1996. Adjusted for inflation however, I'm only making 27.5% more. (I'm a general purpose developer with some specialization in DevOps.) But that's a sample size of one.

I absolutely agree with you. H-1B visas for tech workers are complete and total garbage. They are giveaways for rich Republican donors and the Chamber of Commerce crowd that take good paying jobs away from real Americans, particularly in demographics where retraining for IT is so critical to the economy, like coal mining and manufacturing. I want that money going to Appalachia and the Rust Belt through the market as wages, not government programs.
