Don’t bother to study engineering any more!
March 8, 2007

The U.S. government has set a new performance goal for itself as can be read in the strategic 5 Year Plan, published by the Department of Labor. Under Performance Goal 2H, titled “Address worker shortages through Foreign Labor Certification Program”, you will find the following little detail;

“H-1B workers may be hired even when a qualified U.S. worker wants the job, and a U.S. worker can be displaced from the job in favor of the foreign worker.”

Your employer can now bring in a new hire on a H1-B visa, at what the Department of Labor thinks are the prevailing wages for engineers, a whole $40.000 ayear in Silicon Valley (a level 1 engineer, according to Department of Labor statistics), and can then use them to replace and displace “overpriced” U.S. college graduates.
