But that's not the typical H1B. There are "Manager Trainees" at slaughterhouses making 35k.

Developers making between 30k - 70k are quite common.
Putting in an 80k or so wage floor would be a huge improvement to the current system.
- screye 9y agoI think there should be some scaling wrt. to COL (From what I know 80k takes you a long way in some states). But, apart from that I totally agree. If someone is living on sub 60k in the US, their job is certainly not one that requires an H1B.
