WHERE DID THE (TECH) JOBS GO?


WKMG, the CBS affiliate in Orlando, will re-air tonight a special on the displacement of American tech workers by H-1B visa holders. “H1-B visas allow U.S. companies, including federal contractors, to hire skilled foreign workers on a temporary basis to supply workers where they cannot find qualified Americans. However, the technology workers, who are mostly from India, are not filling empty jobs but actually replacing qualified Americans, according to the report.” Mike Emmons, who worked for the Siemens corporation in Florida, said, "These people are putting Americans out of work. They brought the employees into a room and told them what was going happen and that they were going to train them and they held a carrot out and said if you don't stay and train them you won't get your severance.” WKMG also has the video of the report on their website.
