As others have pointed out H-1B is very popular on college campuses as they are cap exempt and come in on the lower end of the "prevailing wage" scale (because they are typically young and inexperienced) An interesting/alarming trend is that education institutions are "hosting" private companies as a sort of satellite office, where the developer is an employee of the university (to get around the H-1B cap) but all work is directed and owned by the company. So Acme Co. pays the PCU $20/hr and PCU pays the H-1B $15/hr and pockets the $5. Ah the tangled webs we weave when at first we aim to deceive.
