In reply to the discussion: For those who think that there is a skills shortage, let me tell you about my Google job interview [View all]twins.fan
(310 posts)Unlike, Mr. Grantcart, I have been turned down before, by employers, by pretty girls, by baseball coaches, etc. Being turned down is not the problem.
The fraud is the problem. The fraud claiming that US STEM workers are not qualified is the problem. These work visas are here to reduce labor costs, not because of a shortage of qualified US STEM workers.
Most employers don't use their victims as props in their narrative of smearing them like Google has. When a pretty girl shoots me down, she generally does not announce it to the world. Google has marched candidates through this sham interview for their own self-serving publicity purposes.
All I ask of the tech giants and the politicians is to be honest. Don't ask young people to spend their formative years, borrow tens of thousands of dollars and make other sacrifices for jobs that they will never get. Plus, for those who have already made the sacrifice of borrowing enormous amounts of money and spent their formative years learning this technology, don't smear those people with claims that they are unqualified. ADMIT IT!! US STEM workers requiring a living wage are being excluded from employment because they are US STEM workers requiring a living wage.
