No, hence why I said we are in big trouble.

The two events can be independent you know. One can have a STEM degree without qualifying for a particular STEM job.

One data point. On the aggregate, the US is NOT producing high skilled workers. You can look at any university in the country and see the breakdown in degrees. So many kids going school just to "get" a degree. So many go to school perhaps intending to study engineering and then fail out...

That is correct, most of the H1B Visas are NOT high skilled jobs hence the shortage. We CAN'T fill most of the high tech jobs whether it be with local or foreign talent. There is a very "limited" amount of H1B visas hence why they are trying to pass a bill in congress to INCREASE it hence...

Quote from the article posted on the first page: "The top users of H-1B visas aren't even tech companies like Google and Facebook. Eight of the 10 biggest H1-B users last year were outsourcing firms that hire out thousands of mostly lower- and mid-level tech workers to corporate clients...

When you got nothing, you resort to ad hominem. Good job kid.

What I love about ET is the second you ask for facts, all the bullshit artists run and hide. I guess that is how you can shut everyone up, ask for facts. Smallstops, your amateur hour.

Enough with the wars. Wars and H1B visas have nothing in common. You are throwing in the middle east which has nothing to do with this conversation. Stay on topic. Please show me which "high skilled" jobs are leaving the US. The reason we are having this H1B visa backlash is BECAUSE we...

Good riddance. Go back to the kiddies table. Come back when you have some facts in your hand.

Non sequitur. Shit or get off the pot.

Businessman can do whatever he wants? Not in this country he can't. He has shareholders and a board to answer to. Come on buddy, are you still in high school, you are very naive. I'm not sure what fairyland you are describing here, but it ain't this country.

Dude, are you seriously going to tell me that IT is now suddenly skilled labor? IT jobs are THE lowest bottom of the barrel job in most corporations today. Hell most secretaries have more skills today then IT people. And legal? As in paralegal? LOL. OK, I guess to a guy working at a...

It means I don't have a fkucing clue what the hell you wrote.

No dude, you probably have not run a business before. For non skilled labor, sure, I'll take anyone. But for skilled labor? Come on man, there is no such thing as same skill and experience. No such thing even in this country. No two people have the same skill and experience for any...

Come again?

Options are priced off of expected value, not dollars.

Actually option prices have been expensive all year. Value is not determined by dollar amount.

I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts he does not know what a forward price is. You are giving this guy way too much credit.

That's just the magic of the internet. :)
