Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

"....Michio Kaku has noted correctly these tech industry jobs aren’t all leaving the U.S. Many information technology jobs and other tech jobs are necessarily staffed in America. Still, the need for information technologies workers isn’t helping the American jobs crisis, because these jobs are being filled by workers born and educated in other nations, especially India, Indian tech graduates are receiving H-1B visas, and taking American tech jobs, increasing the American jobs crisis.

The one thing that makes Michio Kaku’s tech job suggestion less than optimal to combat the American job crisis is the extensive use of the H-1B visa. This situation could change, however for the present, it difficult for Americans to find a job in the tech field......."

@Pd9LN6Z-1ncx Here is a fact. We have two interns at the tech company I work for, I asked them about the job prospects when graduating. They said you have to stand out in some way in order to get a job with the likes of Intel, TSLA, Google, Microsoft. They also said it is very hard to get hired regardless because of the competition. Another fact is that most of the STEM grads will NOT get a job in STEM. If the H1B program WAS eliminated it would be a BOOM for all the USA college grads in STEM.

Doesn't anyone else see this?

Possibly, but companies are well prepared - Wipro is ditching H1 and pumping L1.

Our law firm consults for large employers in the DC Metro area and we are advising clients to prepare for SIGNIFICANT downsizing of H1-B visas. We are hearing from our government sources that there is now a very real possibility of suspension of the entire H1-B visa program indefinitely.

A friend manages a group of IBM contractors and most of them are on L visas. They were recently told that the company must reduce its number of L's and they are being sent back to India.
