INSIGHT

H‑1B Changed America's Talent Pipeline

  • The H‑1B system has reshaped U.S. talent pipelines and lowered domestic incentives to pursue STEM careers.
  • That dynamic created persistent dependency on foreign skilled workers and de‑skilled American labor in key fields.
INSIGHT

PhD Pipelines Skewed By Foreign Recruitment

  • Universities recruit foreign PhD students by offering visas and lower pay, which reduces incentives for Americans to pursue doctoral paths.
  • That practice depresses domestic PhD supply and cheapens academic labor.
ADVICE

Force Companies To Train New Hires

  • Make companies responsible for training entry‑level workers instead of importing experienced foreign hires.
  • Require incentives or rules that push firms to create on‑the‑job training pipelines for new Americans.
