The sharp drop-in H-1B visas<\/strong> given over the last two years has not led to any change in employment growth<\/strong> for American natives, a review by the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP<\/strong>) has found, pointing to the reliance on the US labor market on temporary foreign workers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decline in the availability of temporary high-skilled workers<\/strong> didn’t translate into an increase in demand for American workers<\/strong> with similar qualifications, the review revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most opponents of the H-1B visa program<\/strong> do as such because it takes away open opportunities from local workers and allows organizations to get foreign workers <\/strong>at lower pay. The lackluster local hiring points to a lack of high skilled workers with the skills needed. To meet certain job requirements<\/strong> and is in accordance with the reasoning provided by companies who opt for H-1B visas<\/strong> to meet their demand for high-skilled labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As per US government information, the number of H-1B specialty occupations visas<\/strong> issued fell sharply. To under 62,000<\/strong> in FY2021 and around 125,000<\/strong> in FY2020, from almost 190,000<\/strong> in FY2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These visas – almost 70%<\/strong> given to Indians – are utilized to a great extent by technology and IT services companies<\/strong>. To fill the gap for high skilled workers in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In FY2021, the US had to conduct two visa lotteries<\/strong> as it didn’t get enough applications to meet the mandated quota of 85,000 new visas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drop-in H-1B visas don’t result in jobs for US workers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“There is also no proof of faster employment development or lower unemployment rates<\/strong> for college graduates US natives. As a result of decreased admissions via the H-1B program<\/strong>“. Said Madeline Zavodny, a research fellow at NFAP, in the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, labor markets had been more reliant on temporary foreign workers<\/strong> via the H-1B program. Before the pandemic appeared to have had more unfilled jobs during the pandemic<\/strong>. The report – the effect of the Covid-19 drop in international migration on the US labor market <\/strong>– showed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The huge drop in new temporary foreign workers through the H-1B program. Thus does not appear to have led to better labor market <\/strong>outcomes for the US natives <\/strong>who may contend with those workers for jobs,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The review looked at numerous temporary visa categories<\/strong> and observed that the US got around 630,000<\/strong>. Fewer working-age international migrants between mid-March 2020 and mid-March 2021 than at its top during the corresponding period in 2014-15. It combined data on employee demand for temporary foreign workers. Through the H-2B, J-1, and H-1B visa programs<\/strong> with employment, unemployment, and job postings data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The continuous shortages of workers in many labor markets reflect US employers<\/strong>‘. Need for extra workers from both domestic sources and abroad,” Zavodny said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, there was no proof of improved employment or unemployment<\/strong> for US natives. Those who have at least a bachelor\u2019s degree<\/strong> in markets relied more on the H-1B program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
