I'm saying that people on H1B are paid more than the prevailing wage for a metropolitan region. Many employers pay all employees more than the prevailing wage for the metropolitan region.
Where has Powell said anything about immigration, especially the sort of skilled immigration that H1Bs are issued for, and the labor market?
- qwytw 4y ago> Where has Powell said anything about immigration He did mention that lack of labor supply is driving up wages. > people on H1B are paid more than the prevailing wage for a metropolitan region Because H1B visas are generally only issued to high skilled professionals? Sure. a software engineer on H1B is probably gonna earn more than the waiter or cashier in the shop downstairs. Are they gonna earn more than their colleagues who are citizens/permanent residents? Obviously not...

- howinteresting 4y agoDo you understand that "employer" and "metropolitan region" are not the same? Some employers pay more, others pay less. Anyway, I'm done with this. Go talk to a lawyer and see what they say.
