The median salary of someone on H1B is higher than someone not on H1B. If H1B is gone we will see a decrease in wages not an increase.

- Our_Benefactors 1y agoNon sequiter. What you said was “If H1B is gone we will see a decrease in wages not an increase.” Then you said other random stuff that didn’t prove that statement in any way.
- sarchertech 1y ago>The median salary of someone on H1B is higher than someone not on H1B. Not within the same job in the same location they aren't. If you're on an H-1B and you get fired or laid off, you have 60 days to find a new job or be deported. That creates an underclass of workers who are willing to put up with much worse working conditions and work longer hours. That drives down working conditions and wages for everyone.
- nojito 1y ago>Not within the same job in the same location they aren't. The actual data doesn't support this belief. 100% offer market wages and 78% offer higher than market wages.
- sarchertech 1y ago1. I'd need to see the exact data you're citing. 2. It's a common tactic to employ people on H-1Bs in a lower paying job title while having the perform the work of a higher paying title. 3. You'd need to adjust for average number of hours worked.
- nojito 1y agoNone of what you said is true. https://nfap.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/The-Impact-of-H-1B-Visa-Holders-on-the-U.S.-Workforce.NFAP-Policy-Brief.May-2020.pdf https://nfap.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/The-Impact-of-H-...
- explorer01 1y agoAnecdotally, I have seen the h1b under leveling happen multiple times. But not sure it’s common enough to skew the data but it does stand out when it happens because you have a great engineer with 10 years experience and you find out they are an SDE1. For every one of those there are probably 10 that are correctly leveled or over leveled.
