U.S. firms urge action on skilled immigrant reform
- hkmurakami 15y agoSkilled labor immigration reform is perhaps the single most important factor for this country to maintain its relevance in the international race for talent acquisition. It's demoralizing (yet expected, I suppose) that it continues to proceed at a snail-like pace. Perhaps the most telling quote from the article: "But proponents of more skills-based immigration say the salary differential is overstated. They say immigrants tend to create jobs because they are twice as likely as U.S.-born people to start their own companies and can help improve access to foreign export markets."
