The shortage of American tech workers has always been a myth. The first thing you learn in microeconomics is that markets clear through the price mechanism. If you can't find workers it means you're not paying enough.
America First Insight? Seems unbiased
Right?
Is the H1-B pay shown average, median, low end, or high end?
Stop being a D.
Demand for the vast majority of these roles has the potential to be filled by AI.
AI needs no H1B.
Agreed .. but it looks like that's the direction where it's all headed. Not to mention all the GCCs that's propping up.
It’s a great graph
It shows that 100k equalise salaries between foreigners and local talent and for the same quality people would go for local
Not anymore

It’s funny how people are moaning about h1b affecting wages.
Bro these wages are the highest in the world for the jobs they are for. You don’t have a legitimate complaint, only greed, being exploited by a 🍊
Also this source is biased (check the name) and doesn’t present its evidence anyway.
Your argument makes no sense. Even if for these jobs these average wages are ‘highest in the world’, the average cost of living is also high. So yes, when the average wages go down because an h1b worker is willing to do it for less for the opportunity to work in the US, then it does matter for someone here who has also trained for that same job throughout their life.
Not surprised at all. Companies are absolute ****s

The data is likely made up, and you probably already know that
This list may be true for WITCH companies but not for consulting
Consulting has it own problems like H1B employees who think their
English is acceptable when clients struggle to understand them. The communication skills of these H1Bs were approved by their H1B managers with equally weak English. The clients that put up with it are doing so because they know they are saving money over having projects staffed by US workers. That all ends now.
