U.S. Changes Visa Process for High-Skilled Workers

At every level, high skilled, medium skilled, and low skilled, immigrants tend to increase jobs and wages for natives. This is the rough consensus of economists.

There is lots of work to make this even more true, of the flavor "ok if we are only bringing in 1 million immigrants, who does this best". H1-B and student visas a consequence of that thinking.

While I see others saying economist say different.

But I would like to point out higher wages may be the result. But this normally comes at a cost of fewer citizen employees.

I don't see how you can argue H1B creates more jobs. But I can at least see how it might change pay for those not replaces or passed over.
