Overview The H-1B program applies to employers seeking to hire nonimmigrant aliens as workers in specialty occupations or as fashion models of distinguished merit and ability. A specialty occupation is one that requires the application of a body of highly specialized knowledge and the attainment of at least a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent. The intent of the H-1B provisions is to help employers who cannot otherwise obtain needed business skills and abilities from the U.S. workforce by authorizing the temporary employment of qualified individuals who are not otherwise authorized to work in the United States.
The law establishes certain standards in order to protect similarly employed U.S. workers from being adversely affected by the employment of the nonimmigrant workers, as well as to protect the H-1B nonimmigrant workers. Employers must attest to the Department of Labor that they will pay wages to the H-1B nonimmigrant workers that are at least equal to the actual wage paid by the employer to other workers with similar experience and qualifications for the job in question, or the prevailing wage for the occupation in the area of intended employment – whichever is greater.

Thanks for the explanation. Judging from the others who contributed on this thread, these employers violate the law. We need to go after these employers. How can they come in and fire everyone in that position and verify they followed the provision for "protect similarly employed U.S. workers from being adversely affected by the employment of the nonimmigrant workers"
Couldn't agree with you more! Unfortunately there's a loophole written in:
*It allows H-1B reliant companies to ignore the requirements about protecting American jobs as long as they pay the foreign workers at least $60,000 a year, or hire a foreign worker with a master’s degree *
In my most recent lay off (that I was referring to above) all of the foreign workers had master's degrees...isn't that convenient?
The overwhelming sad feeling I'm left with this past couple of years is that our legislators, corporations, administrative bureaucrats, big tech and everyone making decisions for us, seem to think of law abiding, hard working Americans last.
