There is another problem that is eating away at the salary numbers of H1Bs its called full time Curriculum Practical Training(CPT). Basically it was intended to be a internship for students on an F-1(student) visa. Now many universities have
"Full time CPT[1]" that allows students to work 12 months at a time. This itself is legal[2]. But I have seen many universities are gaming the system like:[3]. Often times no real classes but only "training" is offered for real work preparation. Enrollment bars are pretty low and there is no easy way to determine how big this problem is.
