I knew that this was the case, now its backed by data! Thank you. Ofcourse H1Bs are spoiling the job market. We do not need foreign talent when we have so many locally available.

Do you feel your life on H1B in the US is embarrassing or humiliating? Before someone asks me to GTFO of US, I'm doing that. My answer to the question is "Yes, I'm in only for the short-term. Will pursue other options." Note that I'm not suggesting reforms or complaining about US immigration syst...Read more
#workvisa #h1b The new wage rates are out and are significantly higher than before.
