Demand Lagging For H1b Visas - far short of 65,000 cap

Demand Lagging For H1b Visas - far short of 65,000 cap...H-1B visa program for scientists, engineers, programmers and other skilled workers was created by Congress two decades ago to increase competitiveness and innovation for American businesses. Federal IT contractors have supported the program and lobbied for expansion of the number of visas..IT workers believe the visas dampen wages..GAO states protections for U.S. workers are weak.
