To support this point, in the area where I live, Tata Consultancy has been awarded H1B visas for the positions Data Warehouse Engineer with a base salary of $60,000 a year. I work at a company where we are trying to hire a data warehouse engineer in the same geographic region. We absolutely can't hire anyone that is remotely qualified for less than $80K a year. Typically we're talking about at least $90K. It blows my mind that the government isn't able to properly track an average wage for a profession when they have tax data coming in annually from every working American.
