Yes, but H1B can stay 6 years, so it's not just 100K, it's 100K x 6, or 600K.

- toast0 10y ago600k is still small compared to the total labor market of 100M+
- Clubber 10y agoThere's only 6-7 million tech workers in the US, so that's around 10%. Here's a link I found on STEM statistics: http://dpeaflcio.org/programs-publications/issue-fact-sheets/the-stem-workforce-an-occupational-overview/ http://dpeaflcio.org/programs-publications/issue-fact-sheets...
- nojvek 10y agoI still think stopping Abuse is the right thing to do for all the talented Indians who get stuck on H1B forever.
- Clubber 10y agoAbsolutely. It's the Tata's that ruin it for everyone. US agencies did a piss poor job of keeping them in check, or they were told to look the other way by Clinton/Bush/Obama. Either way, I think salaries will be going up for all tech people, H1B and domestic. Also, it should be a lot easier for new graduates to get their foot in the door. This is a long time coming.
