But those H1Bs all come for a very narrow set of work - mostly software development or other adjacent roles. So your 4 million figure that counts all graduates in all fields doesn't make sense when we talk about tech. There are around 100k U.S CS graduates . You're telling me 100k H1-Bs don't make any impact on them? | ||||||||

You're counting only CS bachelors, in reality there's 400K graduates a year in software engineering fields. There's also only 60,000 H1-Bs a year for private companies. Lastly the majority of H1-Bs doesn't go to software engineering jobs, it's around 30-50%. There's also basically no US company hiring juniors via H1-Bs, so yeah, I'm saying it doesn't make any meaningful impact. 30K H1-Bs versus 400K grads... | ||||||||
