The H-1B swindle | InfoWorld | Column | 2005-10-25 | By Ephraim Schwartz
Ephraim Schwartz:
According to “The Bottom of the Pay Scale: Wages for H-1B Computer Programmers — F.Y. 2004,” a report by Programmers Guild board member John Miano, non-U.S. citizens working in the United States on an H-1B visa are paid “significantly less than their American counterparts.” How much less? “On average, applications for H-1B workers in computer occupations were for wages $13,000 less than Americans in the same occupation and state.”And it's a wonder that high-tech workers are being fucked?
Let's see, fewer jobs, raises less than the average (which already can be argued that the average raise is less than the rate of inflation), and the government has seen fit to give the corporations exactly what they want, cheap slave labor. I'm impressed. I'm really impressed. Relevant Link Permanent link posted by bytehead @ 10/25/2005 12:08:00 PM
