In a speech on June 5438+065438+ 10, Obama said that the restrictions on American students studying in the United States would be relaxed. Companies like Twitter and Facebook can "provide training for STEM (science, technology, engineering, machinery) graduates" and allow these students to continue working in the United States for 29 months after graduation. In this way, even if the United States tightens the issuance of H 1-B work visas, American technology companies can continue to hire more international students.
Obama's move is to solve the problem that companies such as Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter "limit the competitiveness of American science and technology due to labor shortage". Zuckerberg and Hoffman of Linkedin publicly supported FWD.us, an organization that helps skilled workers get American visas, last year. They believe that "under the new economic order, the United States needs to attract the most potential and hardworking employees." Therefore, it is unreasonable to exclude 40% students (international students) after training students of mathematics and science and technology.
However, Obama did not say that he would increase the number of H 1-B work visas, and the number of green cards and permanent resident status would not increase.
This has attracted criticism from many people in the industry. Competitive America, a talent introduction company, believes that "foreign workers themselves are unwilling and unwilling to work and live in the United States through H 1-B visas or student visas." This move can't fundamentally solve the problem.
Some scholars believe that Obama's purpose is not to attract talents. Hal Salzman, a professor at Rutgers University, pointed out in a recent interview that there is no shortage of scientific and technological talents in the United States. He pointed out that enterprises can't recruit people because they are unwilling to pay reasonable salaries.
Just because you can't buy a TV set at half the original price doesn't mean there is a shortage of TV sets in the market.
Salcman believes that Obama's policy and Facebook are only for "getting cheap stem cell labor". The shortage of talents can be solved by raising the current salary. In a paper published by the Institute of Free Economic Policy, he mentioned that wages in the IT industry are not as high as 1999, regardless of inflation. (1999 was the peak of the last Internet bubble).
However, even the "cheap" labor force in the United States will be very happy for China students to study in the United States. The annual salary of experienced PHP engineers in Dice is $65,438 +0.2 million, while the annual salary of PHP engineers at the same level in China is between 20W and 30W RMB. After working in America for a period of time, you will be more competitive when you return home. At the same time, there are also websites in China that try to introduce IT talents from China to work in the United States. These websites will provide services for engineers to work in Silicon Valley.
