There are a couple of easy solutions, increasing the min salary is one. This works for the tech sector but may not for some others. Other solutions include: 1. Do not provide a lottery. Approve by highest salary per occupational code/section. This will make sure wages are "high". 2. Mandate that beneficiaries of the H1B actually start employment and receive pay within 2 months of approval. This will ensure that companies don't just "hoard" H1B's. 3. Mandate a minimum of 1 years' work in the US per entry into the country unless employment is terminated due to forced loss. The program has been misused. It's high time that is rectified.
