H1B is not exclusive for software engineering and encompasses many other professions (architects, civil engineers, etc).
Immigration policy is not aimed to serve the highly compensated field of the day, but to serve society at large.
Society needs civil engineers or child psychologists just as much as a fintech developer.
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> H1B is not exclusive for software engineering and encompasses many other professions (architects, civil engineers, etc) Then partition the auctions by profession.
- ibero 3y agoYes, I agree that compensation alone is not enough.
- kuchenbecker 3y agoWe'll end up fighting which professions deserve H1Bs.
- throw9away6 3y agoIt’s worth fighting for.
- nitwit005 3y agoRemember that thr claim is that you can't find American labor with the right skills. There are no architects here? No psychologists? The only believable claims I've seen has been needing people who can translate unusual languages.

- ibero 3y agoI’m not sure. I would imagine there is as much variety and diversity in those fields as there is in computer science. If that is the case, I can see why immigration might be necessary to make up for a domestic deficit.
- throw9away6 3y agoExcess of both
- antonvs 3y ago> Immigration policy is not aimed to serve the highly compensated field of the day, but to serve society at large. Do you believe that description is consistent with the design and impact of the H1B visa?
- nullc 3y agoNothing about the auction is incompatible with that. If we don't have enough civil engineers this can be addressed by paying them more. What we're willing to pay is the ultimate measure, and really the only measure that matters-- of the supply/demand equation.
- willcipriano 3y agoIf society really needed them it would find a way to pay for them.
