”Do a monster search or hotjobs search for I/T you will find thousands upon thousands of jobs. The Agency for Workforce Innovation said Friday that there were 7,272,900 non-farm jobs in Florida last month, up 1.6 percent over the same month a year earlier. That is an increase of 116366 jobs since last year. There are several cities across the nation that have under 3% unemployment. Jobs are coming back my friend.”

Take this with a grain of salt because I cant back it up with anything concrete (perhaps someone else can) but I heard that companies have to post IT jobs and interview US citizens before they can get workers on the H1B and L1 visas. One complaint a friend of mine made is that he feels he is going in for interviews where the interviewer obliquely makes him aware that regardless of how he presents himself he’s not getting a job.

The other thing I’d be interested to hear is what kind of non farm jobs have been picked up. Any info on this?

That is one of the requirements in the laws authorizing the H1-B visas.
