New hope for America's unemployed engineers: A new website combats H1-B visa rigging for importing foreign talent into the U.S. job market.

Probably the strangest, saddest specter on the employment front in the U.S. is the inability of U.S. engineering graduates and older engineers to secure jobs in today's market.

All that talk about STEM majors, and taking a demanding degree instead of a gut major in college rings hollow given that even liberal arts and fine arts college graduates have a better chance of getting a meaningful job than today's computer engineering majors.

Seriously.

According to Raghavan Mayur's TIPP Insights:

This fact was documented by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York earlier in the spring.

A link to the study and an anecdotal news report about this phenomenon is at this link here.

But Mayur writes that now there's hope, in a new website called Jobs.now.

The Jobs.now website is dedicated to getting word out to engineering and other STEM graduates about the jobs out there, which employers hide in order to hire H1-B visa holders from abroad, for cheaper wages. An army of volunteers scans local papers for local tech jobs placed there by big name employers to ensure that only a small pool of American applicants can see them. After that, the tech firm hires the H1-B visa holder and declares to the government that he ttried and can't find an American worker willing to do his $100,000 a year job. 

There's no excuse now, with Jobs.now out there. Mayur puts in much more detail about this disturbing phenomenon which favors foreign over domestic workers and leaves a lot of engineering majors wondering why they can't find a job with their talent and skills.

Irwin Feerst attempted to raise this issue a HALF CENTURY ago. (He nearly succeeded in securing election to the presidency of the IEEE, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Enginners — but was blocked by The Establishment therein — an establishment controlled by large corporate interests.)
It bothered him no end that the federal government was allowing major corporations to recruit and import cheap workers from overseas instead of hiring well-qualified American citizens. But the foreign workers (”electronic braceros”) not only work cheaper, they work longer hours and are far more controllable (firing the worker leads, or is supposed to lead, to deportation home to Communist China or India or VietNam or whereever...)

Feerst was thereafter erased from history.

Make America educated once again. You wouldn’t believe how hard working and smart Serbs/Croatians are.

one of very few surviving articles about Irwin Feerst, most of the rest have all been erased from history, or at least from the internet..
