A comment on H-1B in 2020: Immigration Visa Faces Further Restrictions.

This topic is a perennial favorite on HN.

Invariably someone will offer the opinion that they should auction the visas so the highest paid get it.

Someone else will respond what about junior people joining it and salaries in Michigan vs San Francisco and so on.

I'll tell you what struck me about this article: the data is staggering. The drop in acceptances is much greater than what I would have guessed. The distribution among the firms is about what I might have guessed. But 30-60% rejections is definitely news.

Many companies have switched to a "dont even bother" policy. I'm interested to see if the amount of applications have dropped.
