whoa whoa whoa, you mean to tell me that importing hundreds of thousands of H1Bs every year (increasing supply) put downward pressure on compensation (demand)?



H-1B program has been in place since mid 90s. Bay Area tech wages have been climbing all those years. How does your supply-demand theory explain that?

As an aside, H-1B admits 85K new people every year; not sure where you got the “hundreds of thousands” number.


Tbh your argument might be stronger if you blame ChatGPT for it
