The salaries of private company employees are being listed here
- forgotAgain 11y agoYour question concerned US citizens not public / private employment.
- cmdrfred 11y agoThis needs to be transparent like it or not. These companies are arguing that there isn't any talent for them to hire so they have to get someone from overseas. If this information wasn't publicly available they would be paying some of these guys 9 dollars an hour.
- conanbatt 11y agoThat is senseless, you dont need citizen control to check that the salaries are prevailing wages, that is a job that can be done by the government with multiple different agencies at a very low level of cost or risk. Also, it doesnt make sense because it doesnt include US employees salary of the same companies which is what you need to make that fair/unfair comparison. Even worse, the immigrants themselves can't make that check, which is the most important one you need. The fact that this information is available to citizens is a purely exclusion measure, that makes clear that immigrant workers don't have the same rights as US citizens.
- cmdrfred 11y agoYou obviously don't know anything about the US government. Without transparency there is corruption. Why do you think everyone is upset over the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal being done in secret? The US government can not be trusted. The most recent example of this: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/may/19/pentagon-waste-1m-spent-strip-clubs-casinos/ http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/may/19/pentagon-was...
- conanbatt 11y agoThe only information in this case relevant to check is the salary itself. You can avoid the company name entirely, have only title and location, and get that information as well, and that protects the identity of foreign workers considerably.
- forgotAgain 11y agoThe fact that this information is available to citizens is a purely exclusion measure, No it's not. The records in question aren't public because they involve foreign workers. They are public because the records involve a program run by the government.
- LLWM 11y agoSo are the records of the incomes of citizens. That's how the IRS decides how much you owe. Yet those are not published.
- forgotAgain 11y agoThe IRS records of foreign workers aren't published either.
- LLWM 11y agoTheir salaries are. That's the whole point of this submission.
