Do you have an details on the wage differences between immigrants vs U.S. workers? I was under the possibly mistaken impression that companies were not allowed to pay H1B workers less.
- jmzachary 19y agoI don't, and I think you are correct about the rule. But, I have anecdotal and second-hand accounts that it isn't always the case in practice.
- dangoldin 19y agoThe bidding for H1Bs system would solve this pretty well. The current laws make it seem as if every H1B is identical - seems counterintuitive to me.
- geebee 19y agoThey aren't, but it's a largely unenforceable and really pretty stupid provision in a field with such a massive difference in productivity between workers. Sure, I suppose you can require that a company pay some posted "prevailing wage", but that that hardly tells you this is the wage an individual would get if he or she were free to find another employer, join or found a startup, or enter a different field entirely.
