Many Americans are questioning why businesses continue to hire foreign workers on H1B visas when recent graduates and seasoned professionals are having difficulty finding employment in this difficult labor market with rising unemployment.
 
In order to help businesses fill positions for which they were unable to locate competent candidates, the H1B visa program was created. The idea was that businesses might hire highly qualified people from outside if there weren't enough local applicants for a given position, especially in specialist fields like technology. Some Americans, however, think that this goal is not being achieved. They point out that more than 500,000 workers in the IT industry have lost their jobs in the past two years, and many recent graduates in computer science and engineering are struggling to find work.
 
According to one American job candidate, "I am aware of how the H1B system works. However, I feel that the system is broken when I see IT businesses that continue to employ H1B holders when so many Americans are unemployed. This is about businesses that may be preferring foreign workers even when there is a pool of competent American applicants, not about pointing the finger at people on visas.
 
This perspective is frequently expressed by new grads, many of whom are juggling student loan debt and a very competitive job market. The timing has intensified the conversation because of the large layoffs that have occurred from big IT companies over the last two years. Some people think that businesses may be more concerned with cost reductions than acquiring talent, even though H1B workers frequently provide excellent skills and expertise. This perception has further increased the discussion, prompting many to doubt the impartiality and goal of the program.
 
Policymakers are under increased pressure to review and maybe change the H1B visa system as long as economic challenges persist. There is optimism that a fair solution may be found for people who feel let down by the system, one that supports local job searchers while enabling the united states to gain from highly qualified international personnel.
