Displacing American Professionals–Why The H-1B Quota Gets Used Up In One
Day
>>"This year’s H-1B quota got used up in one day and employers are
engaged in the usual whining that they cannot find people and that the
lack of H-1B visas will prevent them from growing their business.
Today’s whiner is Development Design Group [Email them] in Baltimore.
The Washington Post has an article that features the company’s
difficulty finding workers. [For Visas, The Demand Outstrips The Supply,
By Pamela Constable, April 21, 2008]
The CEO of the company, Roy Higgs, is quoted as saying “Some people
think this is just about bringing in cheap labor, but it’s not. We offer
the same salaries and perks whether you’re from Baltimore or Bangladesh
.
. . but we simply cannot find enough qualified U.S.-born staff to fuel our
growth.”
Hummmm.
Let’s take a little trip to the H-1B disclosure data at
www.flcdatacenter.com and look them up
There are 18 H-1B architects working for Development Design Group, and
their salaries range from a low of $34,00 to a high of $60, 000, and the
average wage Development Design Group has promised to pay H-1B architects
is $44,588.24.
Now go to the Bureau of Labor Statistics website, where one finds that the
mean wage for an architect in Baltimore is $69,210.
We have just explained:
1. Why Development Design Group has such “difficulty” finding people
in the U.S.
2. Why the H-1B quota gets used up on one day."<<
