Rethinking H-1B Visas and Workforce Priorities

This chapter critically analyzes the H-1B visa program and its implications for the American job market, contrasting it with the H-2B visa program associated with unskilled labor. It discusses the failures of current education systems and advocates for valuing trade skills while pushing technology companies to prioritize American workers. The dialogue also highlights the challenges faced by foreign workers and calls for a collective shift in corporate America’s perspective to better support the domestic workforce.
