35. Ha ha ha ha ha

Sigh.

You are TECHNICALLY correct. But guess whose wages rise very, very slowly?

Related, true story: many years ago, the IT department I was working in, had an exceptional young woman (black, American born) as an intern. She didn't have direct experience but was interested in learning. (Great GPA, good course load, good local school). I'd had hiring success before and went back to my VP with a proposal that we would bring this person in and train her initially in one specific area where we had a ton of work. Relatively low training investment initially, and over time we could broaden her skillset. This was in the fall, when the intern program was ending. But sadly, there were no open positions and they said no way could they do this. "Don't need anyone at this time".

Guess when they DID decide they needed people? If you guessed "in the spring, when H-1B allocations opened up" - you are a winner!! Sure enough, in October they didn't need her, but they were just fine posting a position in February that ended up being filled by H-1B candidate.

Nope, no games going on here, none at all ...
