The law of supply and demand applies to labor. When supply increases or demand decreases the price of a commodity(like labor) goes down. Producers make less, supply decreases and the price reaches a balance. It's a nice feedback system that works well, It's called Capitalism and Free trade. When Government interferes in the Free market that is Socialism or Communism. More Visas = greater supply of engineers= lower wages = less Americans entering field = lobbying for more cheap labor H1B's..... Less visas = increased wages for engineers = Americans entering field = Less visas needed. The companies who whine about the lack of engineers are the same ones who glorify free trade with country's that have lower standards of living, and few if any enforced labor or environmental laws. Also does anyone know the proportion of male to female visas? I see very few women getting these, shouldn't it be around %50 or is the program deliberately sexist? I wouldn't encourage any bright American student to enter a STEM program. It's just not a Viable career anymore. Just a little logic will tell you what the H1B program does.

The law of supply and demand applies to labor.

When supply increases or demand decreases the price of a commodity(like labor) goes down. Producers make less, supply decreases and the price reaches a balance. It’s a nice feedback system that works well, It’s called Capitalism and Free trade.

When Government interferes in the Free market that is Socialism or Communism.

More Visas = greater supply of engineers= lower wages = less Americans entering field = lobbying for more cheap labor H1B’s…..

Less visas = increased wages for engineers = Americans entering field = Less visas needed.

The companies who whine about the lack of engineers are the same ones who glorify free trade with country’s that have lower standards of living, and few if any enforced labor or environmental laws.

Also does anyone know the proportion of male to female visas? I see very few women getting these, shouldn’t it be around %50 or is the program deliberately sexist?
