Raising the minimum is about the only way (short of auctions) to prevent companies from playing games with the prevailing wage requirements.

- user5994461 10y agoThe only way to have proper wages for H1B is to allow workers to change company. Right now, the H1B workers have zero leverage power, zero negotiation power and they can't change job.
- outworlder 10y agoThey can. It's harder than what it would be for a permanent resident, but they can, as there is a grace period. Maybe you are thinking of L1?
- vecinu 10y agoThere is no grace period when you're terminated from an H-1B. There might be one January 17th if it doesn't get revoked but right now officially you have 0 days to leave the country, no?
- gozur88 10y agoThat's no longer true.
- vecinu 10y agoThe new 60 days grace period rule has not gone into effect yet so it is still true at this moment.
- yazaddaruvala 10y agoTo be frank: The companies who abuse the H1B system are smart enough to hire people who are not typically hirable elsewhere, but which also are just about able to overcome their respective tasks. One instance of this is: Hire someone who is not typically hire-able elsewhere, but encourage them to work an extra 30 hours a week, and get acceptable throughput out of them.
