Do H-1B Visas Steal Jobs From American Workers?
Ever heard of Hertz, Chico's FAS, FGCU or LeeMemorial Health System?
Those are among the dozens of companies doing business in Southwest Florida to seek employees through H-1B work visas, with the number of workers on these visas in the region appearing to be in the hundreds.
The visa is designed to be used for foreign workers in "specialty occupations," which require highly specialized knowledge, but that can be misleading.
The occupation list includes architecture, engineering, mathematics, physical sciences, social science, biotech, medicine and health, education, law, accounting, business specialties, theology, and the arts.
Other recognizable businesses in Southwest Florida to apply for these visas include 21st Century Oncology, Algenol Biofuels, Arthrex and NeoGenomics.
Employers with jobs in the tech sector tend to use these visas more than any other and workers from India more than any other country are using them.
