If there are qualified American workers who are looking for work and applying for these positions then no, they should not. Legally they cannot either. Now on the flip side, if there is an actual shortage of qualified workers then sure. But

I updated my comment to clarify what I meant by PERM, which is a green card application. "The H1B visa is a visa for a worker on a position for which a company fails to hire a worker in the US." The H1B visa application has no req

They are making these specific jobs tough to find because they are for a PERM test and don't want to get applicants. This video is old, but the same thing is happening today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCbFEgFajGU

There is no requirement to demonstrate that you cannot find an American to do the job to get an H1b visa approved. If that person applies for a PERM position (needed to convert to a green card) there is. Hence the H1b is easy to game by emp

I know many people in high tax states that forgo upgrades on the outside of a house to avoid higher taxes. Hence the neighborhoods do not look as good as they do in the south.

Have we made some significant advancements similar to what happened with the Internet back in the 90's with HTML? Yes. But, this is a bubble we are currently in just like the .com bubble with lots of irrational exuberance. That said,

The bigger issue is that the market is saturated with the only real growth opportunities in either taking Android market share or trying to get into developing countries where people are more price conscious. Even as a mobile app developer,

Not to mention all of US jobs that we said "Ta ta" to as they went to India. I worked for GE during that time and the US divisions were pretty bad as well. The handwriting was on the wall with the future of the company. I'm s

I'm glad I don't live in California. How are you supposed to know if you have milk that will quickly go bad etc.? While some of this can cause waste, many food items do start to go bad after they sit on the shelves too long. That

I'm not a fan of Kim but.... Basically, this is a win for big money interests and the powerful in the US. It was only a matter of time before New Zealand caved. Meanwhile the US has become a banana republic as demonstrated by the lawfa

Before the H1B really started to ramp up, you used to see foreigners working in IT that truly were some of the best and the brightest because there was a lot of competition and very few spots. These days, that is the exception, not the rule

"Health care led with 72,000 new jobs, followed by government (71,000), leisure and hospitality (49,000), and construction (39,000)." An increase in government employment is not real growth. Healthcare growth is also probably at m

We will probably see more of this. Unfortunately, from what I've seen, crypto has attracted a very un-savory crowd.

This is why we can't have nice things. The social media platforms took things too far. Most republicans would be in favor of the platforms not being liable for content if they don't censor. Most and both political sides would prob

From personal experience, once engineers go the MBA route they tend to lose their technical edge and get sucked into the vortex of the MBA universe. It's like some strange indoctrination process.

Good. If you use a tool that does not give the correct answers you should be held liable for the mistake. The takeaway is, you better vet your tool. If the amount of money you loses from mistakes with the tool is less than the money you sav
