Instead of a random lottery, rank the applications by salary (decreasing order) and take the top N. Everyone wins: company has to pay more, it ensures that the visas go to really hard-to-fill jobs, and workers get more.
- ecnal 11y agoAlternately, remove the need for highly skilled workers to get visas entirely, thereby completely preventing companies from abusing the system.
- serge2k 11y agoNo, big Silicon valley tech companies win.
- 1024core 11y agoBy that token, they win anyways (even with American workers) because they pay more. And why is anyone entitled to cheap labor??
- LeifCarrotson 11y agoWell, Infosys, Wipro and Tata would lose in that scheme. Whether they ought to win or not isn't a matter of debate here, but it is important to a lot of people.
- anpk 11y agoSomeone in texas would definitely lose out because their salary will be much much lower than the bay area. This doesn't factor in cost of living.
