>laid off thousands and yet are still hiring thousands of H1Bs

http://www.h1bdata.info

It shocked me to learn my midsized Southern city (<0.5M MSA) has 1762 H1B jobs, ostensibly because there aren't any qualified Americans; the most common complaint I hear from my peers is that "there aren't enough tech jobs here" when the reality is over 1% of our workforce is underpaid H1Bs, primarily tech field.

I don't think its hateful to want your healthy society's workforce to be made up of citizens, whatever those criteria be determined.

>A.I. is misdirection

It is playing a most useful role for idiots.



More like 20% of the workforce.

66% in silicon valley
