The report titled "H-1B visas and prevailing wage levels" says 60 per cent of H-1B positions certified by the US Department of Labor (DOL) are assigned wage levels well below the local median wage for the occupation

    The report's premise is, since many filings are at level 1 and level 2 wages (SWE1/2), let's consider these to be below local median wages. While that might be typically true for other companies, SWE1/2 in Big Tech easily earns 2-3 times the local median wages just in base salary, even though the wages are classified as level1/2. Typical sensationalist reporting.

    Ah yes, Google and apple are known for their low 300k wages. Should have hired some laid off coal miner instead. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Certain low IQ people just love to blame immigrants for their failures huh?
