The United States relaxes its work policy for graduates studying in the United States

News With the rise of the Internet industry, people can now feel the services that this industry brings to everyone anytime and anywhere. Of course, this is why a series of recruitment companies have created a large demand for industry talents. The same is true in the United States. President Obama has even begun to adopt a "customized" approach to retain graduating international students. Please see below for details!

In a speech in November, Obama stated that he would relax restrictions on American students studying in the United States to work in the United States. Companies like Twitter and Facebook can use "STEM (Science, Technology) (Engineering, Mechanical) graduates” so that these students can continue to work in the United States for 29 months after graduation. In this way, even if the issuance of H1-B work visas is tightened in the United States, American technology companies can continue to hire more international students.

Obama’s move is to solve the problem of “restricting U.S. technology competitiveness due to insufficient labor” raised by Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter and other companies. Last year, Zuckerberg and Linkedin’s Hoffman publicly supported a help FWD.us, an organization that provides skilled workers with U.S. visas, believes that “under the new economic order, the United States needs to attract the best potential and the most hard-working employees.” For this purpose, “after training in the fields of mathematics, science and technology students and then exclude 40 of them (international students)” is unreasonable.

However, Obama did not indicate that he would increase the number of H1-B work visas issued, nor would the number of green cards and permanent resident status be issued as a result.

This has attracted criticism from many people in the industry. Compete America, a talent introduction company, believes that "foreign workers themselves are unwilling and do not want to work and live in the United States through an H1-B visa or a student visa." This move cannot fundamentally solve the problem.

Some scholars believe that Obama’s purpose is not to attract talents. Rutgers University professor Hal Salzman recently pointed out in an interview that there is no shortage of scientific and technological talents in the United States. He pointed out that companies cannot recruit people because they do not have the talent. Willing to pay a reasonable salary.

Just because you can’t buy a TV set that sells for half the original price doesn’t mean there is a shortage of TV sets in the market.

Salzman believes that Obama’s policies and Facebook are just to “obtain cheap STEM labor.” The talent shortage problem can be solved by raising wages at current levels. In his paper published through the liberal Economic Policy Institute, he mentioned that wages in the IT industry are not as high as they were in 1999 without taking inflation into account. (1999 was the height of the last dot-com bubble).

However, even the "cheap" labor force in the United States will be very happy with Chinese students in the United States. A more experienced PHP engineer in Dice was quoted an annual salary of US$120,000, while domestic PHP engineers of the same level were The annual salary is between RMB 200,000-300,000. Having a period of working experience in the United States will make you more competitive after returning to your home country. At the same time, there are also domestic websites trying to introduce Chinese IT talents to work in the United States, providing engineers with employment services in Silicon Valley wherever they work.
